Well, As most of you know, I am the Leader of Taylor's Jr. Girl Scout Troop in Florence, AZ. Yea we stayed out there for our troop. I love what I do it is so fun to see the joy in those girls, when we do something rewarding and fun. Well, As most of you don't know I was also called to the Wolf Den mom with our ward. So, Last weekend was my first Pack Meeting being the Den Mom. I was scared out of my mind. I had only been in the calling for about two weeks prior and didn't even have a clue what I was doing. The only experience I have with cub scouts is with what Calvin has done in the past two years. And I have loved every minute of him being in scouts. He has accomplished so much in such little time. Many service projects and lots of fun family activities.
Well this Pack meeting was a extra special one. It was the Birthday of Scouts. Our Blue and Gold Banquet. And the Wolf's were in charge of doing the flag ceremony. Yikes. I am so grateful too the other leaders for stepping up and basically telling me what too do. LOL. I felt like the boys knew what too do and they were also assisting me. THE LEADER LOL. Everything went sooo smoothly. Thank goodness our pack has such amazing and very dedicated leaders. Our boys are so blessed.
We had fun having races with the bike thingies. I don't know what they were called but let me tell you as you can see even the moms and leaders were getting competitive. And with the help of the boys we all finished the fun race. Then we had a guy in our ward who is a mechanic for a race team. Brought his Ferrari. Well the car that he works on. The owner was there also, and let me tell you how nervous they were about having all those little kids around the car. Very expensive. But, I don't blame them one bit. We also had great food, fun, and awards.
Since Calvin finished his Bear award 6 months after he turned 9 he has been working on the little things. But, Lately for FHE we have been trying to help him get his Conservation Award and hopefully he will have earned it before he turns 10 in two weeks. But he got a total of 5 arrow points and two belt loops. I am so proud of him for all his hard work. I really hope that he understands what he is doing is amazing for a 9 year old boy.
