A shout out for Kale!
Kudos to and bless those Scout Leaders! If it weren't for them, my boys wouldn't be advancing in scouts. Kale received his Bear Award this last week. He loves scouts and all the things he learns. It's right up his alley. He is such a hands-on, outdoors child. Josh received the pin at the awards ceremony, because I was in Arizona.
When Kaden first started scouts, I thought it was kind of weird that the mom's received the pin. I thought the dad's would because they "should" be doing all the scouting stuff with their sons. Boy, was I wrong- I now- do believe it is the mom that does the work and rightly so should receive the pin.
Growing up in a house of all girls, I never really understood what Scouts was all about and what it consisted of. With three boys, I imagined that I'd delve into it and be an awesome scouter mom. Nope- Kaden never did get any of his awards sewn on his uniform, but he did complete all the levels and received his Arrow of Light (thanks again to his awesome leaders). I did try to hot glue his awards on once and that was a failure-popped off at pack night (embarrassing). So far Kale is still in the same boat, but at least he has a uniform. Kam doesn't even have that yet, and he's been in scouts for 6 months. I guess my take on scouts at this point is that it is good for them, but not something I have the time or motivation to put a lot of energy into thus far. Maybe sometime in the near future- I will jump aboard(and by that I don't mean a calling). I do want all my boys to receive their Eagle.
