David Graduates from Cub Scouts

David graduated from Cub Scouts on Friday at the Blue and Gold pack meeting. He earned the Arrow of Light which is Cub Scouts highest award.



To earn the Arrow of Light he had to earn several Webelos activity pins involving several different disciplines; fitness, first aid, citizenship, outdoorsmen etc. In addition he had to know and recite Mottos and Laws of the Boy Scouts. In general they are a good group of things to know and live by so I was glad to see David learn them.

I was an assistant den leader for Davids den and was responsible for learning how to construct these ceremonial arrows. All the boys each built their arrows prior to receiving them at the meeting. Also they each were responsible for staining and or decorating the wooden plaques.

David has decided to go on to Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts is quite a bit different. The Boys are required to do much more of the planning and preparing for all the events. They also have more meetings and go "Camping" every month. Our knew Troop leader said it like this "Cub Scouts is about fun. Boy Scouts is about Adventure."

The arrow of light patch you earn for your uniform is the only patch from Cub Scouts you can wear on your boy scouts uniform.

We are very proud of David.
