Back in March, Nathan got his bobcat award - pretty simple to earn. He had to memorize the cub scout promise, law of the pack, sign, handshake, motto and salute. We also had to discuss some safety issues and other things as well. They had a ceremony for all the ones who completed the bobcat. I hadn't ever been to one of these ceremonies before. It was interesting. We'll be learning a lot about scouting and spend many years in scouting with all these boys! They got their face painted to symbolize the ways of the bobcat:
Yellow - being positive and helping others
Red - Courage to tell the truth and be honest
White - purity, making wise choices and decision
Green - Protecting and preserving the environment
Blue - Reaching for the sky, going for your dreams and doing your best
Nathan has a good start in all of these. We're proud of him for the good boy and example he is to those around him. If only we all could remember these basic principles of scouting, how much better off we'd be.
