Scouting is great!

Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting play a big role in our homeschool....well, actually in our lives.  I truly believe in the scouting program.  It teaches boys how to become MEN. From Cub Scouting's Core Values to the Scout Oath & Law, boys learn how to be MEN. 

 The core values of Cub Scouting are  Citizenship, Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Faith, Health & Fitness, Honesty, Perserverance, Positive Attitiude, Respect & Responsibility
As boys know and learn about these values, commit to live by them, and Practive living them they become better members of families and society.

 Doodle just recently earned his Wolf badge (sorry- Roo was my photographer!)  I am so proud of him for setting the goal to earn it, and to finishing what he started.  He has had wonderful leaders, and is looking forward to his birthday when he can move up to the Bear Den.
 Bug had a court of honor the other night, and he earned a bunch of merit badges and is currently a 1st class- waiting for Sept. when he can advance to the rank of Star.  He also has wonderful leaders who have caught the vision of scouting. 
Wouldn't the world be a better place is everyone was  Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean & Reverent.  (and Hungry- Bug likes to add!)  We love the Boy and Cub scouting programs.
