While up until now it has mostly been Missy and I keeping us busy with church related obligations and activities that is all about to change. The time has come for the boys to start filling our family schedule (or at least one of them). Last night Eric and I went to an informational meeting for a Cub Scout Pack that serves the area including his school. Eric was very excited to see a classmate (Ben) there and Ben seemed equally glad to see Eric. They sat together during the meeting and eagerly discussed all of the neat things they had displayed as samples of items to be earned through the program. They were quite cute as they talked about the uniforms, crafts and activities and what they thought about all of this.
At the conclusion of the meeting we officially signed up. Eric is now a “Tiger Scout” which is the youngest level (for first graders). At that level he must have a parent partner sign up with him. It didn’t take too much arm twisting to get me to sign up too! He jumps right into things with a picnic/fishing derby for new scouts Monday and his first meeting the following week.
Oh, and they will also be starting their (only) fund raiser soon, which is selling popcorn! Hope you’re hungry!
