The Crossover

So this weekend, Cade, you are camping out with Dad and the cub scouts/boy scouts at Mr Neil's place.  You've done this now for 5 years, but this one is different.  Tomorrow night you'll 'crossover' from a cub scout to a boy scout. 

Daddy has done a terrific job of keeping the den going, ever since your second year, he has been your leader.  You've made great friends in the Leaks (Brian, Justin, Jacob, Josh, and Jenny), the Duers, Kyle and his family and the list goes on. 

 

You attended Camps, made pinewood derby cars, made cakes to be auctioned, dutifully place flags on graves, collected food, carried the colors, learned your pledge, earned pins and belt loops, went fishing, went hiking, tied knots and volunteered by planting trees - just to name a few.

Some days daddy and I complained about scouts, but you always claimed that was the one thing you didn't want to quit when our scheduled seemed too full.  You were a fan!  You loved the activities and the outdoors (maybe not so much the 10 mile hike).  You were a born cub scout just like your daddy was when he was your age.

Always remember the things you learned in scouts - there are some wonderful lessons there!!!

Love ya bud!!
