Brandon getting shooting instruction
Brandon & a friend canoeing the day away
One of the biggest joys we get as parents is watching our kids enjoy their "life experiences". Brandon really likes scouting, and camping is the BEST. Brian went along for this campout, and it was so much fun to watch their excitement.
Brandon LOVES shooting. He has been trying to work out when we can go shooting again. I'm thinking our visit to Utah will have to be sooner than later so he can learn more about this fascinating new hobby. Hmmm, should I be worried that my 11 year old is so into this???
I have to say, I'm NOT a big supporter of the scouting program. Brian was an Eagle Scout, worked at scout camp during the summers when he was a teen, and did his time as scout leader taking boys camping every month for 4 years straight. Our deal is I would deal with Cub Scouts, and he would have to do Boy Scouts. I've been warned that I'm fooling myself and that a boy doesn't reach Eagle scout without his mom's help. I now categorize this as a science experiment and will see if that theory holds water. Ha! It's only Brandon's future we're talking about, right!? (I can see the moms of scout aged boys all cringing out there).

See? And I'm fine if Sammy never does scouts. That line of thinking is strongly encouraged in our house!
I got lucky with Jordon and his Eagle stuff. Layne is the Young Men's President so he has taken care of all the Eagle stuff. Maybe Brian will be in YM and he can do all the work for Brandon. Have a great day. Scouts is a good thing, believe it or not.
I am the proud mother of 4 Eagle Scouts. I helped with the paper work and Jim helped with the projects. Scouts teach the boys many important things. Please come to Idaho and you can shoot all you want. We live on two arces. I would love to see you. If you come in the winter you could ski.
I totally endorse your scouting philosophy.
The only reason I nudged Evan to Eagle was that Tom was too busy as Bishop.
Men should always be the ones that help their boys become Eagle Scouts, your job is to feed them :)
When you come to Utah give us a call. I would love to come and see you. Where abouts will you be? Close to SLC?
