Merlin's Arrow of Light

On April 22 during our pack meeting. Merlin and 4 other webelos in his pack recieved their Arrow of Light. This is the highest award that a cubscouter can earn. We have some men from the Order of the Arrow come in and do the ceremony. It was such a great time seeing Merlin's face light up knowing he accomplished this.

Merlin had to recite the Boyscout law, motto, promise and the outdoor code. We have been working on this for the last 3 months. He did a great job. I am so grateful to be his mom.

Easter

Easter morning when the children got up they noticed eggs outside in the yard. It was so much fun to watch their faces trying to find eggs.

Kevin, Merlin & Charity Scuba Certified

Starting on April 10 and finishing on april 18. The children finally got certified. Charity and Kevin are officially Open Water Certified. Merlin is Scuba Diver Certified which means he did not finish all of the requirements for open water and has restrictions. They did Sat. and Sun. classes for 2 weekends. They really had a great time. Andy and Jim from Sports Chalet were their instructors.

Merlin kept losing his fins.

Lake Pleasant was beautiful but cold. About 13' was 54 degrees F.

David found a small fish. He did find a bigger one but did not have his camera on him.
