So in July, TJ gets to go to scout camp. He has been every year, but never has braved the zipline. Once he heard Douglas did it, he knew this was the year to not be shown up by his little brother. This picture is his first run down. He looks traumatized, but claimed it was awesome and even did it twice..JPG)
Our scout camp also has a BMX track for the kids to ride on. Not my boys' favorite thing at scout camp (since they're not the best bikers), but they did enjoy watching the leaders racing on it. Our leaders are awesome..JPG)
Douglas was proud to earn a few patches at the last den meeting. He has earned his bobcat, but it's blocked by the Camp patch.
The first few months of our summer, we worked really hard to help TJ finish up his arrow of light award. He was also determined to earn ALL 20 webelos pins. He got them done just in time! He's excited to be an official BOY scout now. We are happy for his great scouting attitude and his example to his brother. Scouting is a lot of work for the parents, but I think it's soooo worth it. Very valuable for these young boys to set goals, accomplish things, and experience nature. We use the scout books for Family Home Evening activities, too. WE BE SCOUTING.

Those are great scouting pictures! Your boys are growing up!
I know you won't regret helping your boys with their scouting...my brothers have reeped the benefits of being eagle scouts! However, I know that my parents earned some sort of major award when my brothers completed their eagles!
Looks like the boys have had a lot of fun this summer with scouts. I have to say that the zip line looked pretty fun. That's awesome that they worked so hard to earn thier badges. I bet it is a lot work, but I bet it is worth it in the end.
Glad to see you had a blog. I love finding new blogging buddies. You can check out our blog (if you want..) it is cltait.blogspot.com
