Ethan has become a BEAR....

Just a quick little post to let you know how proud we are of Ethan! He just got his "Bear" award from Cub Scouts. At the pack meeting there was just one thing he needed to do before he got the award. He needed to tell the pack a folklore story. Nathan called Ethan up to give him the beads he had earned, but Ethan wanted the badge. He was so bummed when Nathan wouldn't let him see it until he had read the story. The look was classic!
The then read the story of Rip Van Winkle, which of course has been a matter of debate ever since.

Ethan- "But how could he sleep for 20 years?"

Me- "It's not real, it's just a story"

Ethan- "Well it could really happen.."
Me- "People can't live without nourishment, if he was sleeping he couldn't eat."
Ethan- "If rain fell into his mouth while he was sleeping, then he could live."
After the story he finally got his badge! He was so excited. He & Nathan worked hard on getting this. Congratulations Buddy! Next stop- Webelos! (Which in my opinion is WAY too close to being a Boy Scout.. Boy Scout= Teenager. YIKES!!)

Way to go, Ethan! I know it's only been a few months, but he just looks so big. I love that kid.

Don't worry Holly he still has new scouts before boy scouts.

Hey Ethan, Way to go!!
I'm an old scouter and have never heard of "new scouts". (Maybe it's because of being an "old" scouter.) What's "new scouts"?

Awesome Ethan! It's crazy that he's getting so old! Funny questions too!

Isn't it just Webelos to 11 yr old Scouts to Boy Scouts?

I hadn't heard of "new scouts" either... Maybe it's a Utah thing. I think Nikki's right about how things are done around here. Reguardless, it's too close to BOY scouts for me...
