Eagle Scout

Sorry about the picture overload in this post, but this doesn't happen every day. I didn't post all I took, I promise. :) Last night was Scott's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. He looked very handsome and we were so proud of him.

Hug from mom. In case you're wondering why his merit badge sash is all skeewampus, it's my fault. I put the badges on the wrong way, so the sash would cross his chest over the wrong shoulder. I must have put them on the back or something. When tried he put it over the correct shoulder it had to twist all funny in back. Oh, well, this is the only photo you can really tell there's something wrong unless you're looking for it in the others. I haven't sewn any of Kevin's merit badges on yet, so I'll try to get it right for him. Not sure why these simple concepts sometimes are so difficult for me.

Hug from Dad.

Ogden Nature Center brought their bald eagle with an amputated wing. The caretaker was trying to do these cool pictures with the eagle and the scouts and their parents where he would hold the bird above us, but I think they turned out more humorous than he intended. The eagle is not really sitting on Scott's head.

This one turned out a little better. It was a very impressive eagle. It visits Matt's school quite often, because they have adopted it as their school's mascot.

Future Eagle Scouts

Posing with Sherm, their 60+ year old scout master who had them run the Ogden Marathon Relay and Half-Marathon, bike around Bear Lake (50 miles), back pack all over the Uintahs and Book Cliffs, cross country ski who knows where, and tuck their shirts in.

Scout Camp at Bear Lake in 2006. Can you find everyone in the above picture? It's amazing how much boys change in 4 short years. It's a great group of boys and leaders and I'm grateful for their support for Scott.
