From Bobcat to Wolf

Scott has been eagerly waiting for me to post his scouting information here. Right before we left for Ohio we went to his pack night where he walked away with so many different awards that he couldn't carry them all! He was awarded his Wolf Badge which means that soon he can start working towards his Bear. He also earned beltloops and pins in 6 different sports and acidemic areas. To earn a beltloop the Scout needs to compleate 3 activities that have to do with that topic. For example for his astronomy one he had to draw a picture of the solar system along with two others. To earn the pin Scouts need to compleate an additional 5-7 items in that section. So for the astronomy one he learned about some different constilations, astronauts, and we even watched a show on the Challanger disaster. Scott earned beltloops and pins in: astronomy, baseball, swimming, collecting, soccer, and biking. He also earned this night his gold arrow award (for doing 10 extra activities in the book) and 3 silver arrows (one for every 10 after that gold). He has still been doing meetings, but at home we have taken a small break, but will pick back up with it soon.
Scott also reciently compeated in the Pine Wood Derby with Scouting. This is where the boys are given a block of wood, a few nails and 4 wheels and then told to have fun with it. The idea is to be creative and come up with the fastest car possiable. This years creation soon became lovingly known as the Cheese Mobile. Scott did up a yellow block of wood that him and Tim drilled holes into. Then when all was done we used some wall mount clay and fixed 2 Lego men into it, and had a small little mouse sticking his nose out of one of the holes. While his wasn't the fastest one there...it did make it through several races before being eliminated. Later he won for most original.
