Wood Badge for Dave

Dave has now officially earned his Wood Badge. Way to go! The Court of Honor was held last Wednesday, March 11. He had to go to training over 2 long weekends -Thurs-Sat. and hang, hoot and holler with a bunch of Owls -that's what his group was.
Then Dave had to put his training to the test. He came up with 5 tickets or goals that he needed to complete by the end of 2008. He worked hard and I'm so proud of him. Dave's been the Scout Master in our ward for the past 3 years. I wasn't very happy about that in the beginning, but I'm so grateful that he's there. Spencer's been able to go with Dave to most of the camp outs and other fun stuff so he knew most of the young men before he turned 12.
Certainly a benefit has been that Dave has been able to help Spencer get merit badges -by the way he also, last week, earned his 1st class and Star. He says he wants his Eagle by the time he's 14. Go Spencer! They've really had a great time in Scouts. Ali, Sam and I -we have our fun too!
