Girl Scout Court of Awards

Every year the girl scout troops of our school has their annual court of awards. This gathering is to celebrate the achievements and promotion of the girl scouts. Girl scouts bridging from Daisies to Brownies and from Brownies to Juniors get to cross the lovely bridge on the stage as accompanied by an older girl scout troop. Naomi's girl scout troop was the troop that accompanied both groups over the bridge. Naomi's troop had actually bridged from Juniors to Cadettes earlier this month by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge along with approximately 4,000 other girl scouts from California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Texas.

Bear Cub to Webelo

It's the end of another cub scouting season. Ethan moved up to become a first year Webelo. Webelo stands for "We'll Be Loyal Scouts." After second year Webelo rank comes promotion from cub scout to boy scout.

The following are a few pictures from our annual graduation ceremony. The event was somewhat bitter sweet in that the leader of Ethan's den announced that he and his family are leaving to head back home to Kentucky. Our den leader and his family will surely be missed as they were quite active in our pack.

Ryan plans on joining scouting next year as a Tiger Cub provided that a den is formed for the first graders next year. The signs for this happening look positive at the moment.
