Tyler is now a Boy Scout...

On April 24, Tyler crossed over from cub scouts to boy scouts. It was a very proud moment for Brien and I. He has worked very hard over the past 2 years to accomplish all the requirements he needed to become a boy scout. He also received the highest ranking for the crossover which was the Arrow of Light. What does this all mean? It means that I simply drop him off for his meetings and don't need to stay with him. Also he will be going on camping trips with his troop and we don't need to be there. We can go on the camping trips but he has to pitch his own tent, make his own meals and do the stuff with the other boys. It's very exciting but also very scary at the same time.
Here are a couple of pictures of his ceremony. The first one shows his Arrow of Light achievement. The second is him lighting the candles and saying the Scout law; the third is changing over of his handkerchief from Webolos (cub scouts) to Boy Scouts; the fourth one is of the Scout Master welcoming Tyler to the troop and giving him his handbook.
