Scouts

Recently I signed Aaron up for Cub Scouts.  He is so excited about this.  We went to a meeting last Thursday, and officially signed him up last night.  He went out tonight to sell popcorn to earn money for his account so he can do things with his den.  As my little bear cub is trying to fall asleep tonight, he's practicing tying the bowline knot on a rope his den leader showed him how to tie last Thursday, at the den meeting.  The event he's most excited about right now is Cub Fun Day, this Sunday.  After we got home from the den meeting last week, Aaron was excitedly telling Ben how much fun he had and that he learned how to tie a bowline knot.  Ben looked at me and said, "Mom, will I get to be a Boy Scout too someday and learn how to tie knots like Aaron?"     


I signed Hannah up for American Heritage Girls last Sunday, it's going to be a lot of fun also!  AHG is like Girl Scouts, but better!  She and I are going to a fund raiser / informational meeting / movie night on November the 5th.  The groups will officially begin meeting in January. We are very much looking forward to making new friends and learning all kinds of wonderful scouting things with AHG.
