I had the opportunity to be Spencer's Bear Den Cub Scout Leader for the last 7 months or so. I was a Rookie at this whole scouting thing but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it all....just in time for Spencer to Leave our Bear Den and move on to Webelos! ....boo hoo... I really have enjoyed my time with him & seeing him around his peers. (It's given me a whole new appreciation for spence seeing how ALL 9 year old boys think & behave.)
Spence earned his Bear award this month before his birthday, so this past Wednesday's Pack Meeting he got to show his courage by going into the Bear Cave!....& did he live it up.
Our Pack has a cute lil' thing they do for the boys who get their Bear Award. The boys have to go into the "Bear Den" & tackle the Bear (their Dad) & come out holding a Bear Claw.
We saw shoes fly over the cave and the "Bear" even tossed him just above the top of the cave to give us a good chuckle. But luckily Spence made it out alive with his Bear Claw in hand & a smile on his face. He came out all tore up...as you can see by his shirt. (I was videotaping so I didn't get any pictures during or after...between my active husband & son I didn't catch them both together in time.)
Congrats Spence on another accomplished Scouting Year!
Ah...Good ol' Scouting...fun stuff.
I better get used to all this being that we have 3 boys.

Just about the cutest thing evah!! How proud you both must be of your bear cub. Such good memories...
So cute! I'm totally scared of Scouts. Ezra goes in next month and I have a feeling it's going to be fun but busy. Tim's such a good Dad! You can tell he really loves to play with his kids. You two are just the best parents around! ;)
Aww Skyler just got his Bear on his b-day at Pack Meeting, they don't do any cool stuff like the Bear cave, but that is an idea I may just have to share, so cute! The pict of you in your scout shirt, so cute, you are seriously so beautiful Audy!
FUN! We love scouts at our house...isn't it so fun (once you figure it out that is)! Lyal's the scoutmaster, I do wolves AND bears in our ward and am going to be the tigers assistant den leader in our town starting in august. We always need cool ideas....LOVE the bear den...we may have to find one to move into our ward building. You look smokin in your shirt!!
