End of Cub Scouts

This week we went to Jacob's last Cub Scout Meeting. He has been in Cub Scouts for 5 years, from Tigers to Webelos. This week was the Crossover Pack Meeting to Boy Scouts. It was fun to see the boys celebrated for their hard work over the years and to look at pictures of how little they were and the fun things they've been able to do. Jacob has really enjoyed Cub Scouts and it has been so fun for the whole family. There were 4 boys who have been together for the entire 5 years and 6 boys that we have been with anywhere from 1-4 years. This is a lot of history. We have seen each other every week for 5 years. What a big change it is going to be not having that group of boys and parents/families at Cub Scouts. I will still be there, as I have committed to serving the Pack for awhile still, as will another mom, but not the whole group, it will be strange that first Tuesday when they aren't there. For the Pack Meeting the boys recieved gifts of shadow boxes with all the awards they had earned while in Cub Scouts, this was a lot more work than I imagined but I'm happy how it turned out, and they crossed-over the bridge to the Boy Scouts. Our wonderful Den Leader transferred each boy to Boy Scouts and the leaders and scouts of the Boy Scout Troop welcomed each boy to the Troop. It was pretty cool and so fun to see the boys reach this milestone.

Here is Jacob and I with his shadow box

And when he crossed over

So, now it is on to Boy Scouts, for Jacob and Jeff. I will enjoy hearing all the fun they have and enjoying this adventure as mom only. Jeff is so excited to be involved in scouts now, he had to work during Cub Scouts when Jacob started and so I ended up helping and now he is free to jump in. They can't wait to begin, and tomorrow will be the first activity; they have a campout this weekend. They have been so busy gathering all their camping supplies and are so eager to get going. They should have a lot of fun and we will enjoy staying in the warm, dry, comfortable house while they are away :)
