Last night we attended the first court of honor for Taylor. He already had his interview to make sure he really did the work and that he had done all that was required to advance in rank. Last night is when it was all made official with him receiving his tenderfoot and second class.
Taylor worked really hard and was even able to work on some of the things with his brother. There have been times that scouting has provided us with good family bonding time.
One of the traditions for all scouts (cub scouts and boy scouts) is that when you pass off something or you advance in rank that the scout places the pin on their mom. They then have to give their mom a hug. Taylor was good about just giving me a big hug. Kelton is the complete opposite, we have to either grab him and force him to give me a hug or we just go without. Usually it's easier to go without and not share our dysfunction with too many people.
There were several boys who received rank advancements last night and even though we are just clapping for someone else, I liked the picture of us. I love the look that Taylor is giving the other boy. Classic Taylor :)
I just had to add this picture because this is Kelton's best friend Ethan and his mom and dad. We have had so much fun getting to know them. I also had to leave the two gentlemen at the bottom of the picture in the green shirts. In the earlier post when Taylor was interviewed, these are the two that interviewed him. I'm pretty sure that at times these two are the biggest kids in our Scouts!
