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!

Boy Scout Court of Honor

Calvin earned his Scout badge. This signifies that the boys have met all the joining requirements and that they are ready to start working their way up in rank:

Tenderfoot
Second Class
First Class
Star Scout
Life Scout
and finally Eagle Scout

Calvin is finding that Boy Scouts is 10 times harder than Cubs. He is loving the new challenges.





The boys keep a board that shows where all the scouts rank. As they move up, they move their little emblem up the pegs.



We are so proud of all his hard work.
