Our New Scout

8 is such a great year - one gets baptized and also joins scouts! Noah was thrilled to finally put on that scout uniform and attend scouts each week, just like he's seen Xander do for the past few years.

One afternoon I found him on the back deck, whittling away with his new pocketknife. He told me he was whittling because he's a scout now so he knows how to do these things.

Between weekly den activities and work at home with me and David, Noah has been able to earn several belt loops and his Bobcat (which he will receive his award for in August). He was so excited to earn these belt loops that he told David he now needed a scout belt! What a cutie!

Hopefully this excitement and joy for scouts will continue in the years ahead.
