Hooray! Ryan was awarded his Wolf at last nights pack meeting! He's very excited to have patches for me to sew onto his shirt! He had a few requirements that he had to do last week at the last minute, but we got them done -- picking up trash in the neighborhood, discussions about protecting our world and other subjects, and learning and participating in an outdoor flag ceremony. I'm very glad that he earned his Wolf, but I can honestly say I do not enjoy sewing patches on scout shirts.
Our next pack meeting won't be until after Jared's birthday, so he was officially "bridged" last night! He's entering a new world of scouting now. I haven't the foggiest idea about scouts and all their merit badges, campouts, etc., so this will definitely be a new adventure for me as well. I'm hoping there's some kind of guidebook -- knowing Scouting, I'm sure there is a book with a nice price tag attached as well. Jared also recieved 4 or 5 more pins last night and another compass point. He's collected quite a bit of metal this past year -- he's earned everything there is to earn this year except for one thing --and I can't even remember what that is. Check out the new red neckerchief -- he'll also be getting a new tan shirt to go with it!
We are proud of both boys and their accomplishments! Many, many thanks to the awesome scouts leaders we have in our ward right now!!

I've seen many a merit badge glued or stapled on...might not be a bad alternative. Or else tell the boys that there's a sewing merit badge, and it's required for the Eagle Scout award. The main focus is that they have to sew their own badges on. Might work.
We still have two years until we start the scouting program and I'm already having panic attacks! Great work boys! And Parents!
