Tonight was troop elections in Boy Scouts for Little Boy Blue. He was elected Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. This is a position of great responsibility as he and the Senior Patrol Leader lead, train, and supervise the troop of boys. Boys drop out with bad leadership and participation grows with good leadership. They will do a grand job of leading the troop.
He will soon have his Scout Master Conference to finish earning his Life rank. Once he has obtained Life rank, he will begin work on his Eagle Scout rank. This is only weeks away.
Since he has a position of responsibility, this counts toward his requirements for Eagle Scout.
We asked the pastor Friday if there was anything at the church that LBB could do as an Eagle Project that would help out the church. Sunday evening we had our answer - the church has a dedicated library room, but it is not finished. Bookshelves need to be built, sanded, painted; books need to be sorted as well as cataloging the books. Who knows, maybe they can even help the pastor unpack the 15 boxes of books in his office and shelve them.
A year ago, Eagle seemed so far away -- not unattainable, but several ranks away. Now - a few weeks, my son will be a Life Scout and working on his Eagle.
Not to leave out Little Miss Muffet, we were informed of an opportunity that I think is just wonderful. She can go to the state Capitol and work as a page in the Capitol for a week through Girl Scouts. How awesome is that! I think LMM is very interested in this. We might have to juggle a few things to clear the calendar ... how many people can say they worked as a page in their state Capitol. Hopefully, this is something that can be worked into our schedule.
