Jakob's Scouting

Jakob has been Scouting this year and is one requirement away from finishing his Bear Badge! We are so proud of him as he works through all these requirements and learns and loves so much!!

Last weekend was his first Pinewood Derby. Wow. That's all I can say. The excitement the anticipation, the competition, the "try not to look so disappointed son its your first year". Ah my sweet emotional boy. I think he did fabulous and his car looked great. He designed it all himself and he and Daddy worked tirelessly on the weekends to get it "just right". It was a fun day for all.

He was very proud of his design and the cool way the colors overlapped from the spray painting.

Very precise these Scouts. What a production!

Jakob also had a Belt Loop College event that weekend which is basically a cram session for requirements or extra achievements that a Scout might want or need before their advancing ceremonies. This was another Daddy and Jakob event ( Hazel and I were at Ballet meeting her teacher's new baby girl) and they had a ball. So far Scouting looks like a great social choice for us. The flier cam in the mail today for summer camps..... not sure I'm THERE yet.
