Awards and Space Derby

This past pack meeting Alex really had worked hard and earned LOTS of awards. He got nine beltloops, two pins, and three elective arrow points. If you are not a past cub scouter or a parent of a cub scouter that won't mean much to you--but it means that he passed off a lot of stuff. He certainly has caught the fire of scouting; it helps that he loves a competition!

This past month the boys had also been working on their rockets. We decided that our den was just going to have fun and not make it into a competition against the other boys. Alex loved carving his rocket out of the balsam wood, painting, and then putting it together with dad. He had a lot of fun seeing how far it would go.
