Owen became a Boy Scout today!

Getting ready to head out to the Blue & Gold bridge ceremony.

As part of the ceremony, all the scouts had to saw a piece of wood.

There was an Arrow of Light ceremony where parents present the scout with a homemade arrow with bands of color signifying all the things the scouts have completed. Unfortunately Owen was so new to the troop that he wasn’t able to get one, so he was the only scout not up front. But then they called him up separately and gave him a really nice introduction (among other things they said what a great addition he was to the troop) and I didn’t record it because I totally wasn’t expecting it!

And then they all did the pledge.

They each got a chance to say thank you as they crossed the bridge.

All new Scouts!
