Webelos Scout

Max has officially earned his Webelos Badge and is on track to earn his Arrow of Light (the highest award a Cub Scout can earn) by next month's Pack Meeting... just in time to move into the Boy Scouting program when he turns 11 in October. He has worked really hard and we are really proud of all he has accomplished in the scouting program the last few years. Here Max is pinning my mother's pin on. 
The rest of the Pack Meeting consisted of a visit from our local Fire Department. It was very educational and the boys and their families seemed to really enjoy it. 
You can't see it, but they pulled out the jaws of life for everyone to see. The boys though that was pretty cool. They brought a fire truck, an ambulance, the Chief, and 3 firemen. 
Covering their ears because the sirens were so loud.
Showing the kids what they look like all decked out in their gear. 

We are grateful for the guys that came to talk to us and for the presentation they gave. I've been to 3 or 4 similar things and I thought this one was definitely the most informative.
