Arrow of Light
Tonight marked the end of Cub Scouts for Jacob. He can now call himself a Boy Scout! We attended his Arrow of Light Ceremony, held in the cafeteria at Vandergriff. Seventeen boys from Jacob's den were awarded the Arrow of Light this evening, a pack record! The ceremony was prescribed and relatively formal (for what these boys are used to in Scouts). Each boy was called up to get special pins, one for their uniform, and one for their mother. So sweet. Each boy was also given a special plaque made by a dad of one of the scouts in the Vandergriff pack. Jacob will be joining Troop 116. I'm a little sad that he won't be in the same troop that his older cousins were a part of, but all of his friends will be joining 116, so it's really the better place for him to be.

Good for Jacob! You must be a proud mommy!
Congratulations, Jacob. When I had my arrow of light ceremony, I think someone got to shoot a flaming arrow into a not-yet-burning campfire to start it. Have fun in 116!
Congratulations Jacob! This brings back many memories for me of Matthew and James and all they did in Scouts. You'll make a great Scout! Now you can start making the climb to Eagle.
