Congrats Ben!

Last night was Ben's beading ceremony for his Wood Badge course. Last summer we all went to Family Camp that our Scout District held. Ben went to Wood Badge, while the kids and I attended Family camp. It was SO awesome. Tons of fun- a week of camping where I didn't have to cook ;) The boys each went to their "classes" they did crafts, played games etc. Bug got to shoot bow and arrows and bb guns, earned tons of cub scout things. Doodle played on the slide they had in their campground, went on nature walks, and had a great time. Even Roo enjoyed his class- even the day it Rained and rained and rained...."the rains came down, and the floods came up- and the Big green tent washed away" They went on nature walks, played with toys, and had a great time. I even had a class- we made family flags, went horseback riding, went to a museum, did some crafts, and just had much needed adult conversation.

All the while Ben was in Wood Badge training. With his training he had to set certain goals- and He accomplised his goals- so last night was the Ceremony where he received his beads. I didn't get a very good picture- but here it is anyway. I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he puts into the Boy Scout Troop in our ward. He is such an awesome Boy Scout Leader. Planning campouts every month, working on merit badges, advancements, and having fun! If only he can still be in Boy Scouts when Bug gets in there- though that's still a few years away.
