Eagle Scout Bound

Adam had his first Cub Scout meeting today!  He was very excited about the opportunity to go and spend time with friends and learn new things.  Our Cub Scouts meet at 3:00 p.m. here on Wednesdays so I needed a little help.  The Barker Family was nice enough to allow Adam to spend some time at their home today before the meeting so that I could take Alex and the girls to PCH for Alex's therapy.  

When Adam got home I asked him what they did during their meeting.  They started their meeting by saying the Pledge of Allegiance.   The scouts needed to learn the hand gestures that they will be using over the next few years such as "bunny/wolf ears" meaning quiet.  Adam was very excited that they learned the special hand shake!!  After they got all of the business out of the way the boys raced the blue lines in the gym.  The Pack finished their meeting by playing a get to know you game with M&Ms.  

When you pulled a certain color from the cup you had to answer a question.  I thought you might enjoy a few of Adam's answers that he told me.  I was surprised by most of them I must say.  I wondered if peer answers were involved. 

Red- Favorite Movie (Transformers, I don't think he has seen that movie!)

Brown- Your favorite food (Doughnuts, I wouldn't have guessed that.)

Green- Sing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Yellow- Give a Scouting Term you just learned

Orange- Talk about a family member...Adam talked about his cousin Jacob first and with his second orange M&M he talked about Uncle Troy!

Blue- Adam couldn't remember!!

Sounds like Adam had a great time at his first Scout meeting!  Now to only get myself fired up and ready for all the badge work and new block of time that will be needed to achieve and earn Adam's Eagle Scout!!
