Scout Christmas Party

Pack 703 did a fantastic job of shoeing their love to the cub scouts for Christmas. This was our first year with this pack and we are so glad we came. It started out with a safety lesson by a police officer (I didn't catch his name) and his partner Officer Bird. It was really cute. I'll post a video later. It is good for any kid to see. It's entertaining and teaches a great safety lesson.  

This was the gift exchange. The cub scout master told a story with the words right and left in it. Every time he said left or right they had to pass their gift in that direction. You get the idea.

This is what the boys got for their gift from the gift exchange. That look on Zach's face is him trying to be happy. He brought a nerf gun and he got a camping cooking set. Not an even trade in his mind. We are working on gratefulness and it's not the gift that counts. It's better to give than to receive. He's not convinced yet! Ha! I wouldn't have been either.

Zach's den did a skit. Zach was the sled. Can't you tell?

Utter (is that the right way to spell that kind of utter? It seems like its the, you know, cow utter, anyway) chaos during the attempt of getting 75 kids in three circles.

They did it!

Drew earned 2nd place for popcorn. He was given a gift card to walmart and this marshmallow gun. Ahh, every boy's dream. Needless to say, he was super happy!

Zach earned a gift card too! He's a little shier so he would only ask people (teachers) he had. Drew on the other hand would ask a stranger. I have to watch him carefully. LOL!
