Cub Scouts


We signed Christian up for Cub Scouts and Nicolas up for Boy Scouts this year.

They are in a group w/ all homeschoolers and we are very thankful for that. I have very few pictures of Nicolas because the Boy Scouts do their activities independently. I was given a disc of their New Years Eve campout and one of these days I'll try to post those pics if there are good ones on it.

The year kicked off with the September 11 Scout Salute at our local presidential museum. Nicolas and Christian both participated in this as their first scout activity.







Here the boys are waiting for their turn to move up to "the line" for their 10 minutes. Every 10 min. for 24 hours, there was a shift - thus allowing a break for those saluting and an opportunity for everyone to participate. My boys each did several shifts.The local fire department donated pizza to those saluting during the lunch hour. Our boys are enjoying their lunch break. And that pizza was really quite good - we're going to have to order it in someday.

Gabe is just along for the ride. He found a little stick that he thought was worth telling me about.
I can't recall who this man is - oops.

Our boys were able to dress up for their October pack meeting. We had 4 Luke Skywalkers in our den!!! Christian had the best costume - a gift from his cousin Austin in Texas. I think he'll be Luke Sywalker every year - until he outgrows this costume.

Christian and Braden were good friends.
Mattie and Gabe hang out with us during the pack meeting.


The Wolf Den did the flag ceremony for the pack meeting. Christian is second to last - next to the robot.
