FTD's Court of Honor was nice. This troop usually just does really simple ceremonies, so this turned out to be a huge deal. I couldn't believe how many of our friends turned out. The best surprise was that my very bestest friend Ginny, her husband Bob, and Eagle Scout son Ryan came down from Midland Mich. So excellent to have them there! Once when we were visiting up there, Tommy announced that he was going to be an Eagle like Ryan. Cool.
We weren't able to get any photos ourselves, so I'm hoping folks will send me the pics they took. I heard lots of "shutter clap" and saw lots of flashes, but haven't seen any pictures yet!!
FTD's troop is going to attend the District Camporee this weekend, but it will be the first one he misses! DD's train club is setting up all day tomorrow for National Train Day on Saturday, so that shoots all of DH's Dad time. And I'll be packing, so I can't go with the troop.
My Son, Eagle Scout!
Congratulations to him, that's a big honor. I made it to Life scout before other priorities took over. I see some familiar merit badges on that sash, even Indian Lore.
ReplyDeleteFor Indian Lore he made a really, really cool Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara earth lodge. It was one of the neatest things he worked on with his badges. Even though we have a couple of dozen area tribes, he picked his ND favorites!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have whitewater canoeing. . . maybe some day!
