Arrow of Light

Spencer has worked really hard this year in Cub Scouts.  In November he earned his Webelos badge and this month he was awarded with his Arrow of Light.  During the award ceremony, the purpose of the arrow of light award is discussed and feathers are tied on the arrow one by one by each of his fellow scouts.  Each feather representing a different quality that a scout should posess.

Then Spencer pins a special pin on me and is congratulated by the Cub Scout Master and Matt and I.

I'm really proud of Spencer for acheiving this award.  It took a lot of patience and perserverance.  But I did it.  Oh, I mean HE did it.  No really, Spencer did work really hard to fulfill all the requirements.  I just had to bug him everyday to get it done.  And if you're wondering why I'm wearing a scout shirt...I'm currently serving as the Bear den leader.  So I get to wear a uniform too!  Just look at all the pins Spencer earned this year...

Matt's parents and Grandma were able to come and support Spencer in his acheivement.  We are so lucky to have them live so close!  (Only a mile and a half away!)

There's something about a uniform that just makes your baby boy look all grown up.  We're so proud of you Spencer!  Way to go!  Watch out Boy Scouts...Here comes Spencer!  Now we're on to earning the Eagle!!
