Scouting has begun!

I know, it's a few years early to start scouting, but not within the Church! I guess Heavenly Father knew that Kyle will always be a kid at heart and he loves scouting, so he was the right choice to be the Cub Master. He's so excited about it. Of course, he was called right after the scout training and the parent committee meeting, so he hasn't actually had any meetings with the parents, but he did get called in time to make it to his first round table meeting before the Blue & Gold dinner tonight. Apparently the pack hasn't had a cub master for a while and the den leaders have had to take turns handing out awards and conducting meetings, so they were excited as well to have someone in the calling that wants to be there. Our home teacher figured out that if we don't move out of the ward, Kyle could potentially be in this calling for the next 9 years. (Kyle said he wouldn't mind!)

Anyway, tonight was the Blue & Gold and Red & Green dinner combined to celebrate 100 years of scouting. It was actually really fun for the whole family because Celeste's friends and one of Eddie's friends was there to support their brothers. Celeste's primary teacher was there for her son in boy scouts, so she sat next to us. Kyle has a few things to learn, but over all, he actually did really well for it being the first time he has ever met the boys and not having been in cub scouts in a long time. For those who know Kyle, you know that he has no problem being silly and speaking to people, so this will be a fun calling for him.
