Micah Receives Cub Scouts Highest Honors...and Becomes a Boy Scout!

This past Tuesday, Micah got awarded a whole bunch of cub scout awards. Well, he earned these several months ago, but then they canceled 2 pack meetings and didn't have any in December or January, so he had to wait almost 4 months to finally get his awards.

He earned a whole bunch of pins for his Webelos shoulder thing (yeah, I'm pretty smart about the official names and all), some Pinnacle of Scouting thing with an arrow notch thingy, his religious knot, his Webelos badge, and then the highest award in cub scouts---the Arrow of Light.

Here he is waiting to get awarded his religious knot. Why are my kids so short?

And, yes, they make the parents get up there and get pinned and all, so of course they get to take fun pictures of you when you are looking all dorky and your kid is trying to make you bleed. I have a snazzy necklace thingy though.

Anyway, although I really HATE scouts and we have had a really rough time with it over the past years, I'm glad Micah got to earn all these things and see him so proud and happy. Now he is officially a boy scout! Oh, more joys await, I'm sure.
