Last night,
in a quiet ceremony
in our home,
D received his Wood Badge beads.
Wood Badge is a
Scouting Leadership Program
for adult leaders in
Boy Scouts of America.
Wood Badge beads
are awarded to participants
who complete the course and
to recognize significant
achievement in leadership
and direct service to young people.
The greatest part
was when D's scoutmaster
presented him with a
hand-tooled walking stick
that he had made himself.
We were really touched
by his thoughtfulness.

Our next scouting celebration
will be when A gets his Eagle...
all that's left is the paperwork
(the hardest thing of all!)
