Arrow of Light

Tonight we celebrated a wonderful occasion. Sean advanced from Webelos to Boy Scouts...and he earned his Arrow of Light! He came home from Den Meeting a couple of weeks ago and told me that he had had an interview for his Arrow of Light and that he'd earned it! I was flabbergasted! It had been hard enough to get him to earn his regular stuff, let alone go the extra mile for the highest award in Cub Scouts! Luckily, Sean has been blessed with amazing Cub Scout leaders that work on everything under the sun during Den Meetings. We were all sad that Lyle couldn't be here for this awards night, but business called him away.

Sean was asked to lead the skit this evening and it really was hilarious.  All the adults were laughing at the end!

Our Webelos Den is HUGE!  We had 13 Webelos at the beginning of Pack Meeting, after awards, we were down to 12.

Sean was first awarded several Webelos pins and Bro. Buchmiller came up to award him his Religious Knot.

When the Webelos patch was awarded, Ava and I went up to the front so Sean could pin the Mother's pin on my shirt.

And give me the special scout salute...a kiss!

The three boys awarded their Arrows of Light tonight were in awe of the amazing flaming arrow the Cubmaster Bro. Clements constructed.  While he lit the arrow, a recording played extolling the virtues of earning this prestigious award.

First, Bro. Pemberton awarded Sean his Arrow of Light.

Then, Bro. Fitzsimmons gave each boy their own arrow.

All three boys were asked to repeat the Scout Law.

All the parents came up at the end to congratulate these wonderful boys on their achievement!  On to Boy Scouts....with oodles of merit badges and an Eagle Project!
