Ammon's den, the Wolf's, did the flag ceremony at Pack Meeting Wednesday night. He got to carrying in and out the American flag. The whole den did a good job! They had practiced and they were ready!
I felt so odd taking pictures, like it isn't allowed or something! And I missed when he was saluting it. Such a bummer! It would have been the perfect picture for when he gets his Eagle someday!
I spent my whole growing up years watching my brothers go through the scouting program! I watched them all earn their Eagle. I vowed that my boys would all earn their Eagles too. I also felt so jealous! They always looked like they were having so much fun as they went hiking, camping, canoeing, shooting and on and on! Boy did I ever want to go!
Last night Nik went rock climbing with his pack! That little twinge of jealously popped up again! I wanted to go! Not that I wanted to make a fool out of myself in front of Nik and his friends or anyone else for that matter. But rock climbing sounds so fun!
Right now I am the Wolf Den leader. That is as close as I am going to get to participating in scout, besides helping my boys through the program. I love it! I love boys at the age of 8! So willing to listen and obey, so creative, so talkative and sneaky, so much fun! Guess I will take what I can get:)!

Go ahead — take pictures! I’ll have to do that, too, when Tyler carries in a flag. 🙂 My dad and bros were all big into scouting (or rather, my dad was/is big into scouting so all of my brothers also did it), but my jealousy was washed away when my mom made it a party weekend while they were gone scouting. You’ll have to remember to do that with your girls. 🙂
