I've got a Trained patch!

I just earned my first ever Scout patch!

I mean, I've received a number of mother's pins (6 for Connor, 4 for William, 3 for Thomas) and I certainly earned those. But this one is all mine. Now, to get a uniform to put it on!

Anyway, I attended Cub Leader Specific Training this morning, so this now belongs to me:
Not a huge deal, in the big picture. But since I volunteered to serve as Committee Chair for the pack for this year, it is nice to have a more solid idea as to what that means. I'm hoping for an awesome year of cub scouting.

It promises to be quite a ride. William is so very ready to become a Boy Scout, and is very excited to be working on the last few things for that. Thomas is a Bear, and is far more concerned about having a lot of fun and doing great things than he is about advancing. Richard is feeling sorry for himself, that he still has to wait another year to be a Tiger.

NO MAN STANDS SO TALL AS WHEN HE STOOPS TO HELP A BOY.
