BigGuy goes Cub Scouts

Ever since last spring when SuperStars Brownie troop had the Fly-Up event at their school and I spoke on the microphone to announce things Spidey has been ready to join that kind of excitement and be a Boy Scout. Then this summer we went to a few family events at the GS Camp. He loved every minute of them and told everyone about what we had done - with the exception of the fact that we were at a GS Camp when we did them and it was a GS organized event. These activities only made him even more excited about being a Boy Scout and as school came closer he talked about it even more. He also talked about how BigGuy was going to be his troop leader - excuse me, I mean Den Leader. Tuesday Spidey brought the meeting flier home and we put the meeting date on the calendar under his instruction. BigGuy came home and Spidey told him the plan and that BigGuy would have to volunteer to be the leader. BigGuy was hoping there would be some parent dying to be the leader and he could be the helper guy.

Only there wasn't a parent wanting to be leader - and now BigGuy is the Den Leader. He has made Spidey so happy. Even SuperStar was totally excited about him being Ben's leader. It is very sweet. Last night BigGuy came home from the meeting with his book and pamphlets - reading them, trying to figure things out. They have 5 boys so far (enough for a pak in BG's eyes) and I am sure a whole lot of energy!! Now BigGuy is officially a registered Boy Scout and Girl Scout!
