Cub Country

Now that Noah is eight, he has started Cub Scouts and is now a Wolf.  He had his first Cub Country Scout Camp June 29-30.


This is him on his way.  Luckily his good friend, Ry from across the street went with him and they had a blast.  Kersten's family has a tradition for the boys to get their first pocket knife when becoming a scout.  Noah sure felt big.  We told him the story of when Uncle J got his first knife he cut himself.  We had good laugh over that one.
His first day was at Super Hero Camp,  they got to shoot BB guns and go on an obstacle course.  One of the counselors did a skit about the Hulk that made the boys laugh a lot.  He came home filthy and tired and super happy.

The second day was at Jurassic Park.  They learned a lot and he said it was more "learning instead of doing."  The did get to shoot a bow and arrow and learn about bones.  Which are fascinating.

Again he came home dirty tired and talkative.  Kersten was amazed at the dirt on this boy when he arrived home that we took pictures

And his feet had socks on.

Noah says he definitely loves being a scout and is glad he is old enough to go now.  I still can't believe my boy is so grown up.
