A *NEW* Scout! 8-5-10

I am going to start playing catch up on here so the next few posts will be in no particular order but will update Summer 2010!

After crossing the symbolic bridge from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts!

Jaco has officially completed Cub Scouts and is now an 11 year old Boy Scout! I have been warned that Scouting is much harder than Cub Scouting so I hope I (I mean HE) can do it! Thankfully I only have one son! Jaco is such an over achiever that I am sure he will make it to Eagle Scout! He has heard about Uncle Art who earned every merit badge possible and he wants to do that too!

But for now, Jaco did manage to earn all 20 activity badges and his Arrow of Light.


By accomplishing this, his Cub Master made him a very cool Exceller award! This award is what motivated Jaco to set the goal of earning all 20 activity badges.


He almost did not complete some of the badges but managed to finish one of them as we were walking out the door to his final Pack Meeting!

Receiving the Boy scout neckerchief

Our Cub Scout leader was the BEST! Curt Tiffany was called to be the 1st counselor in our Bishopric but asked to continue as the cub scout leader along with serving in the Bishopric, because he loves the boys almost as much as they love him!

Justin gave Jaco this knife at the pack meeting. It is a knife Justin's Grandpa Max gave him when he was a boy and he passed it on to Jaco!

CONGRATULATIONS Jaco! I am so proud of you! I love how when you are presented with a challenge that you meet it head on and are not happy until you complete it!
