Pinewood Derby 3rd Place Champion

We joined Dylan for the annual Pinewood Derby contest for his Cub Scouts' pack. It was fun of course, and to make it even more exciting, Dyl won 3rd place in his age group and advanced to the finals. Way to go Dyl!

Pocket Knives

This weekend, WD took his cub scouts group camping, which included Dylan of course. The boys had been working on earning pocket knives. The scouts require extensive teaching in order for a boy to be able to carry and use a pocket knife. The boys made train whistles out of dowel rods and sticks of wood using their dad's pocket knives. Very cool! During the campout this weekend, the boys earned their very own knives! WD arranged for a "presentation" ceremony where the dads gave their sons their knives. Dylan was proud. He has demonstrated all of his scout knife's features multiple times since he got home. Another indication that he's growing up everyday!
