Born to Be A Scout

Ryan started cub scouts this year. My goodness, he was born to be a scout! He absolutely LOVES it. His confidence has been boosted not only in everyday life, but at school as well. I credit it all to Cub Scouts. He loves all the patches, belt loops, and pins that he works hard to earn. He loves all the service projects that he gets to do. He made a boat for the rain gutter regatta and his car won the pinewood derby! Best of all he loves that he gets to do scouts with his daddy. They camp, work on rank, accomplish awards, and just plain out have loads of fun together. :)



This is Ryan's last week of being a Tiger scout. He crosses over to Wolf  next week. He is so excited! I wanted to do a photo shoot with him to remember his Tiger Scout year. He will be getting a few more awards next week at his ceremony, but I wanted to do the shoot while he was still a Tiger. :)

We invited cousin Blake to come along too. He is a decorated Bear Scout about to cross over to Webelos! I know he is excited! Ryan and Blake love everything about scouts and love doing scout things together.


I also invited a sweet Boy Scout, Will, who lives a few doors over to come along. Ryan totally looks up to him! He has helped Ryan get a few belt loops this year and plan on doing a few this summer. Will is just about to get his Star Rank. He loves camping and has gone to the ultimate Scout Ranch - Philmont. That is every scouts dream!  His troop is training again for another trip there next summer! Will also participated in scouting while his family lived in Singapore - wow! What an experience!


The little boys loved having Will on our shoot. They set up a tent together and even learned campfire skills from him. Of course we did not lite a  real fire. :)   It was a super fun afternoon at boy scout camp!



These boys sure were BORN TO BE A SCOUT! What fine young men they are becoming!
