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.
