Crossing Over

                                                                


DS crossed over from Cub Scouts to BOY Scouts last night. It was awesome! It took all I had not to cry standing up there. They started with a beautiful ceremony for his Arrow of Light Badge/Award. After that, he stood next to DH and I as the Boy Scouts crossed a bridge to him, invited them to "their side", removed his neckerchief and slide and handed them to me. They all crossed back over the bridge and as he stood there, getting his tabs changed from blue to green, I remember thinking he had never seemed so far away.

So far my son is turning into a very fine young man indeed. I really hope he stays the course. He wants to become an Eagle Scout and a member of "The Order of the Arrow". An exclusive inner club of the Scouts. If he sticks with these goals they will really help him stay the course and become the man I know he can be.

We are so, so proud!
