Court of Honor

This is the Court of Honor right after summer camp, so there were tons of merit badges to present tonight.

Calvin earned his Mammal Study, Archery, Environmentalist (earned at a merit badge college), Emergency Preparedness, and Rifle Shooting. Whew. That's a lot. He has one more requirement to meet for Reptile Study.

They also presented the boys who went to camp with special achievement awards.

Calvin earned Bieber Award (I'll let him tell that story).

Joshua earned "Smile King" for being so smiley and good-natured even when the temperature was above 100deg and humidity was around 90%.

Joshua was also presented his Scout Rank tonight.

2nd Class Scout

Calvin earned his 2nd Class rank tonight. He was also elected Patrol Leader a few weeks ago. He's a hard worker, and it pays off.

Bear Rank Advancement

The New Bear Den, on their way to becoming Webelos Scouts!

The boys worked together to wire a door bell. They did a series of "knock-knock" jokes only they used their doorbell instead. Hil.ar.ious!

Leader Recognition Awards

Scott Pyle was in charge of Leader Recognition Awards. He does a great job with this every year and always brings lots of laughs.

For our Wolf Den Leader: A trip for he and his wife to "The Ritz" (Ritz Crackers).

For our Bear Den Leader: A trip for he and his wife to "5th Avenue".

Our Webelos I Den Leader is such a SWEETie handling all of the TARTS in her den.

We gave our other Webelos I Den Leader a bonus of "100 Grand."

Our Cubmaster is new to the pack. So he got his very first "Payday".

Our gift to our Webelos II Den Leader is usually a bit more serious. He's leaving our pack and that makes us sad. He was presented with a framed picture so he would never forget us.

Bridging Over

Joshua was received on the other side of the bridge by his brother, Calvin.

Webelos Super Achiever

Joshua has earned his Webelos Super Achiever Award. He earned all 20 of the Webelos Activity Badges. This is quite a feat as he's only the 2nd in the pack to ever earn the award.

Cake Auction

This year we held our first ever cake auction at our Blue and Gold banquet. The boys donated cakes they decorated to sell to the highest bidder. It was a huge success and such a riot! There were some crazy bidding wars and one cake went for $50!

"SOLD! To the gentleman in the back!"

We will definitely be doing this again next year.
