January Pack Meeting

Tonight Garrett had his January Pack Meeting for cubs. We missed the November on when we were in Washington, and then they cancelled the December one, so he earned a lot of things this pack meeting to make up for the last three months.

Here he is explaining what he had to do to earn his Weather belt and pin:
This is him grinning like a bear when he got his whittling chip! This kid has been itching since he turned eight to carry a pocket knife with him, and now he thinks he is finally going to get to...hmmm... how should I break that to him nicely?

This is the only shot Tig got of him getting his bear and pinning me :-(

And his at home shot of him with all his awards:

Tig wondered why we got his Bear badge done so quickly since he still has another 7 months until he becomes a Webelo, and I told her that now he can focus time on getting more arrow points or belt loops and pins or badges. He still has the goal of getting all the belt loops and pins they offer before he is done with Cubs, so we will see if he can do it... He has 26 loops so far, but there are 43 or some high number like that! As he says, he's keeping his eye on the prize!
