My Guys ;)

I must admit that I'm very proud of the accomplishments

"my guys" have had the past week!

Nate's team, the Cubs, won their division championship in like the most exciting game ever!! He now plays in the senior league which means there are boys from 15 to 19 year old men!! (well they look like men and some even have FULL beards!!) Nate tries very hard and has done well playing with the big kids ;) The championship game actually went into extra innings and then with 2 outs, 2 strikes and the bases loaded (Nate being on 1st base) the hitter got a home run!!!! GRAND SLAM!!!

Cubs win, cubs win, cubs win...I love an exciting b-ball game!!

Great job Nate, we are very proud of you!!

Nate with the trophy they awarded the winning team!

Last year Ran spent two LONG (three day) weekends doing Wood badge training. He dreaded it but actually had a fun time and came home very motivated to include many of the ideas into his troop. After the training is complete, they are required to complete 6 tickets (basically BIG goals) that will help improve their troop and leadership. Once the tickets are completed there is a campfire where they receive a new neckerchief, woggle (leather knot) and beads. The awarding is done in front of the participants attending Wood badge this year.
Ran with two of his fellow Bear patrol members and his "little" unit leader :)

He was VERY proud of himself!!!

Receiving his new neckerchief.

It's all good that he's COMPLETELY trained now, I'm sure it just added about 5 more years to his Scout Master calling ;)

Way to go guys, Love ya bunches!!!
