Cub Scouts

 

About a month ago Shawn and I received a new calling... CUB SCOUT Cub Masters.. Really, WOW!! Seriously!! I know nothing about Scouts.. Well, just a little bit when my Dad was in teaching.. "Peanut, Peanut, Butter- Jelly", etc. So that said we have been s cowering for information to find, this week we have an Arrow of Light to perform for of one of our cute boys.. That said, we have NEVER done this and Shawn is a bit rusty on it. The sad story to all of this is we do not have any items from the Scout Committee before us (we are in contact but have not heard back). So, we are trying to figure things out.. For Arrow of Light the boys go a across a bridge from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts... Nobody has a bridge, so guess what were going to try and throw together.. Yep,  a bridge Ü I have learned a lot in such a little amount of time, I have learned that I need a suitcase for all the paperwork and awards and information, I have learned I actually enjoy the Scout Store myself and found a hat that I can't wait to have.. 

It's a bitter sweet calling.. my little guy I lost 7 years ago this past May named Ashton would be going into Scouts this coming May- if he would have lived. So, I am trying to take this as a moment of loving what my son would hopefully enjoyed had he been here.I have really tried to turn my focuses elsewhere, I tell you when you lose a child/baby/etc. Not one day goes by when he is not being thought of. I miss him, I think about him everyday and what he'd be doing, I know now when I look at these boys his age he'd probably be doing the same things as them.

So, I am excited to learn "Cheers", Songs and all the fun stuff that goes along with it, I am so thankful for Shawn's Uncle Bill's wife Marnae: she brought over a box of items that will further our program along a lot more and I appreciate it. Thanks Marnae.

I wish this was a better picture of our bridge, I will see what I can do to take a better one.. Otherwise, it will look cool! I have a creative Hubby! Thanks Babe.
