Arrow of Light

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

Congratulations Grant! He earned his Arrow of Light Award. This is the highest award you can get as a Cub Scout. It is also the only award/patch that transfers from your Cub Scout uniform to your Boy Scout uniform.
There was a special Blue and Gold Banquet last night which included fabulous Aisan food. Mitchell tried to eat more than anyone there...he may have succeeded! After the meal, there were skits by each of the dens. The evening concluded with a special ceremony to award the Arrow of Light. Although the actual award is a patch to wear on his uniform, he also received a real arrow, mounted to a piece of wood, and his name was engraved on it. Grant thought that this gift was very cool and hung it up as soon as we got home.
Congratulations Grant on your success, we all expect you to work toward your Eagle Scout now! If you work really hard, you may even get your Eagle Scout before Mitchell!
