The lecture was very uplifting and included a little homework assignment for the boys, too.
Afterward, the boys exercised their craft muscles and made Paratroopers using coffee filters, string, scotch tape and plastic toy soldiers. They were really into it.
Check it out:
Before the lesson started, the boys were awarded their Den Doodle beads and updated their strings.
Here's J.W. and J.W.2 showing off their new exchanges.
S.W. meticulously arranged his beads by color. His string looked really neat.
D.S. used the time before the lesson to enjoy the shade!
Once the lesson began, the boys gave Mr. Layne the quiet respect he deserved and paid attention to his words.
The class was uplifting.
But once it was over, jump school was in session!
The upper rim of the amphitheater served as the perfect proving ground for our parachutists.
J.M. went for the high ground to give his jumper maximum air time.
S.W. thought it was such a good idea, he jumped right alongside him!
D.S. had a little technical difficulty with his paratrooper. I tried to tell him that the order was chute-string-man, but he insisted upon chute-man-string. Oh well.
Paratroopers learn to have faith in their equipment before they ever step out of an aircraft. As such, they know for certain their chute will open when they exit.The practice of having faith in God is a comfort every scout should nurture and develop. That way they'll never feel alone when life's little obstacles get in their way. And that way, they'll be certain that God will be there when times get tough.
See you next week!
