Arrow of Light

Griffen earned his Arrow of Light a few weeks ago and got his award at Pack Nite. The Webelos did the Flag ceremony.

Before he got his prize he got all taped up with this squirrel target and Ben and I shot balled-up towels at him with a sling shot. He had to play Hot and Cold in order to find his arrow while we were shooting him.
He finally found it in a bush.

I dropped him off for his first overnite tonight, and he was prettty excited. I had him put levis on since he was going camping and it looks like it might be a little rainy. And I just think he should wear pants when he goes to Scouts. Anyone who knows him will know that this is a BIG deal. He never wears pants by choice. Not even in the freezingness of winter. I didn't realize how big of a deal it really was until we got to the church and he was seriously starting to have a panic attack or something because the pants were making him too hot and he JUST HATES PANTS! I was like oh my hell kid, go change then. So he did, and all was well in his world.

Pretty cool getting the Arrow of Light. If it makes you feel any better Shane would never wear pants either. Still wears shorts alot and we all know how "normal" Shane is.
