My little Tiger Scout

This year Max joined Cub Scouts. He has been waiting patiently to earn badges since his sister has been in Girl Scouts for 4 years now. Well it is finally his turn! Last night we attended his first Cub Scout award ceremony. It was a room full of boys trying SO hard to sit still and applaud one another for a job well done.

Usually I'm the one handing out the awards at these ceremonies because I am Kendall's troop leader. Last night was special for me because I got to watch and take pictures and really just have fun! Not that I don't love being a leader (it is something special that Kendall and I have) but it's not quite the same!

Max earned his Bobcat badge (that one is a biggie), his compass and music belt loop. Also, he started earning his beads (not quite sure how those work yet). We were happy for him last night. Max is really coming out of his shell and trying new things. He enjoys being with the boys in his pack and LOVES that his Dad gets to help him out at meetings. I look forward to him trying new things and making friends. Scouts really is a great thing to give your kids! It teaches them they are an important and unique part of our world and they can do BIG things!

Here are some pictures of my little TIGER (it's ironic that the first year of Cub Scouts is Tigers because right now Max loves tigers and animals in the cat family)!

They LOVED it!

Here is the Dad - what a trooper!
