Well, Aidan is enjoying his first year in scouts. He has been a wolf scout this year and had a fun year so far. John takes him to his den meetings, so I miss out on most of what he does. We made his first Pinewood Derby race a family affair. If you've never been to one, it is an experience. Imagaine 100 boys (ages 4ish-10) all running around pausing every now and then to watch their car, and always wanting a snack all at the same time. Aidan did well for his first time, although he didn't place or win any awards, his car looked cool and didn't come in last!
Here he is in the pack watching the races.
He designed the car himself "Checkerboard"The entire Cub Scout Pack (4 dens put together) had a blue/gold banquet on Feb. 22. John had to be in DC, so I got to attend! It was my first boy scout event to go to (besides the races) and I was thoroughly impressed with Aidan and his pack. He received some awards that night. He earned the wolf patch, since he has completed the tasks for becoming a bear next year. He also earned a basketball beltloop and a heritages beltloop for studying China.

Just enjoying the ceremony.
Aidan contiunes to learn new skills every week as they now work on more fun activities (I'm sure camping will happen at some point) until they start on the Bear Trail when he's in 3rd grade. Did I just say that-3rd grade? He can't be that old. Must be somebody else's kid.
