We attended Nathan's blue &gold dinner for scouts a couple weeks ago. Nathan got 3 beads, which means he completed 9 (of 12) achievements for Wolf. One of his remaining achievements is to start a collection of at least 10 things and be able to display them in some way. Any ideas of what a 9 year old boy might like to collect? He likes to collect Legos, but I'm not sure that counts. How do you display them?
The other part of the evening was a cake competition, although there wasn't really a winner. Everyone got a certificate for the "best/most ____ ". The theme was space exploration. We got the "most anti-gravity" award for our spaceship. I was able to help this year. Last year it was only the dads and scouts doing the cakes. I put the spaceship together and then the boys help decorate with M&M's and Oreos. It turned out pretty good, at least quite a bit better than last year's cake. :)

Alex can probably advise you on collections. There are of course rocks and fossils. A shoe box, craft paper, stick on labels and glue work for those. Bottle caps, leaves ironed between sheets of wax paper and put in a cheap picture frame. Seeds, toy cars, marbles from antique/junk shops, sea glass or other items from the beach, etc.
Post cards in photo albums or picture frame. Good luck and have fun.
