Little Webelo

Quinn graduated to the next level in Cub Scouts today!  We now have a Webelo in the house.  I have always thought that Webelo was an odd name for a rank considering that the previous ranks were Lions, Wolves, and Bears so I looked it up.  Apparently, it stands for We'll (we) - Be (be) - Loyal (lo) - Scouts (s)

Here the boys were lined up receiving all of the awards that they worked so hard on all year.

They were just given the medal for earning the SuperNova award, this was a pretty cool one.  They worked a long time on it.

At the end of the award ceremony, the Den leaders applied face paint to signify the advancement of the boys to the next rank. 

We are really happy that he decided to stick with Scouts another year.  Quinn's favorite part of Scouts is being outside and once Winter rolls along and the days become shorter and colder, the weekly den meetings move indoors and can get pretty boring for the boys.  It is right about then that he declares that he doesn't want to be in scouts the next year.  

But...he made it through another year and is looking forward to his new rank and 4th grade!
