Brandon advances to Wolf

              After a summer of little to no cub scouts we decided that we should buckle done and see what needed to be done for Brandon to earn his Wolf.  Between his den leader and Robert, Brandon was able to finish everything off and even get five arrow points.  So at the September pack meeting Brandon along with a bunch of friends got advanced to Wolf.  In his advancement ceremony his Leader drew a wolf footprint on each boy's cheek as she said:

                   I can see by your knowledge of the Cub Scout Promise and the achievements that you have completed that you have worked hard along with your parents. These achievements are very important as they have helped you gain a deeper appreciation of many things. You are now ready to become a Wolf-cub.

                   The first toe of the wolf paw is for your growth through feats of skill and having fun with your family. (Draw 1st Toe)

                   The second toe of the wolf paw represents that you have learned about your home, community, country as well as your religious beliefs. (Draw 2nd Toe)

                   The third toe of the wolf paw stands for the skills you have gained in handling tools, trying things, using books, and making collections. (Draw 3rd Toe)

                    The fourth toe of the wolf paw represents your new appreciation for conservation as well as safety in home and traffic. (Draw 4th Toe)

                    The pad of the wolf paw represents your growth as a Cub, and the increased responsibility you are now capable of handling. (Draw Pad of the Paw)

          It was lots of fun to see my Brandon participating in this ceremony.  He is definitely getting older and bigger!

                     Then after the whole ceremony stuff was over it was time for the raingutter regatta.  Brandon had a lot of fun blowing his boat down the raingutter.  He did pretty good, especially considering that his tiller was on upside down.   Good Times!
