Grandma is still here visiting and got to come with us, to Jeremy’s first pack meeting. We finished the bobcat requirements with him a few days ago, and so they gave that to him tonight.
Ethan also received a few awards. They gave him his computers belt loop, and his communicator, geologist and crafstman activity badges. Two more activity badges to go and he will have all twenty! However, I have to say that I am really upset that they didn’t give him his Arrow of Light tonight. They had it there, but I guess the cub master didn’t plan a nice ceremony for presenting it to him. I just thought it would have been neat to have Ethan receive the highest award in cub scouting on the same night as Jeremy was receiving the very first award in cub scouting, and we had Grandma with us! She lives in California and so she is not usually around to be here for stuff like that. So I’m a bit disappointed about the lack of preparation.
The rest of the pack meeting was a stone soup dinner, and there were some stockings for the kids to help decorate to give to some of the inactive scouts. However, I don’t think parents actually watched their children and some of the stockings ended up COVERED in glue and glitter. At the end of the night, we got to take home our pot which still had lots of broth in it. So after putting the kids to bed, I added some more vegetables and beans and stuff, and separated the soup into three meals to freeze for later. 🙂
