Blue & Gold Banquet

Brayden just celebrated the Blue & Gold Banquet, the theme for the banquet was Camping. The boys were asked to make a cake with their Father using the Camping theme. Justin and Brayden made a camp site, with a tent, river, and a guy fishing. It turned out nice, they had fun time making it. Believe it or not it is Brayden's LAST pack meeting his Birthday is in a couple weeks and he is moving on to Scouts. I can't believe it, where did time go!

Brayden earned more activity pins and the rest of his compass points. He has really enjoyed having the Gunters as his Webelos leaders, they have worked hard to help him earn his awards.
The highlight of the evening was Brayden recieved his Arrow of Light, it is the only award in cub scouting that is transferred to your Scout uniform. We are proud of Brayden and the work he put into earning his Arrow of Light. Brother Moser talked to Brayden and talked about how this is the beginning of many more fun adventures. It was a very nice ceremony Brother Moser and Brother Tustian said a lot of nice things to Brayden. He was thanked by his leaders for the example he sets for the other boys. He walked across the bridge held up by all of his peers and was welcomed into Boy Scouts by Brother Tustian. I'll have to admit I was holding back tears because I am so proud of my son - we also can't believe he is growing up so fast, we are so proud of Brayden and the young man he is. He is a wonderful example to his family and we appreciate his kindness and love and his desire to do what is right. It is an honor to be his parents. After Brayden was welcomed into Scouts they had him sign the bridge, all of those who earn their Arrow of Light get to sign the bridge. We just broke into 2 troops so this is a new bridge for our troop and Brayden was the first one that was able to sign the bridge. After the ceremony Brayden thanked all of his leaders for helping him through cub scouts. What a wonderful evening! Good Job Brayden-we are SO proud of you!!!

Bronco Team Pictures

Max had a really fun basketball season. Basketball keeps us going during the long winter months. Max's little team ended up in a three way tie for first place. They had a good season and had a lot of fun. We took team photos of the boys they turned out cute, then Brittany printed them out for each of the boys. Thank you Foster family for a fun basketball season!!!

Snowboarding at Kelly Canyon

After school the 5th graders get the opportunity to go skiing/snowboarding at Kelly canyon. Neither Justin or I are skiers but Brayden wanted to give it a try. We signed him up for snowboarding lessons and off he went. Justin decided to chaperone them and was proud of Brayden and his efforts. After Brayden's first time down and lots of falling etc.. he wasn't sure he wanted to go up again, but he did and enjoyed it more each time.. The 5th graders went for four weeks and by the last week he was loving it, he can't wait to go again!
