Meeting the new Cubmaster...(10-25-08)

This past Saturday, the Pack gathered for its monthly meeting.

While not filled with the awards, jokes and fun of our usual get-togethers, this Pack Meeting marked a special occasion for the mighty 4684.

For during this gathering, we were introduced to our new Cubmaster.
He is a veteran of scouting, having earned both his Arrow of Light and his Eagle Scout ranks. He is also a recipient of the BSA Heroism award for using his scouting skills to save a life when he was young.
OK, not too shabby. ;-)

As leaders, we are taught the importance of leading by example. It is an important motivational tool for Cubs, especially since they are at the beginning of their life-long scouting trek.

Well, the new Boss recounted to them his early adventures in scouting and the importance of staying on the path, living the values and never giving up.
Good stuff.


Along with an inspirational lecture, Mr. Scott brought all the loot he had acquired and earned during his tenure as a scout.

This was some cool stuff. It was like a snapshot in time.





Finally, it was time to give out the awards earned by our boys.


Chess belt loops, anyone?
Boy, were they exited to get this one!




Finally, our two newest boys had been working hard all month long to earn their Bobcat Badges. I was proud to give it to them.

J.V. was beaming in his brand new neckerchief and slide.








And L.K. got an unexpected honor when he also received the Recruiting tab along with his Bobcat. Way to go!









Finally, the Cubmaster gave his final thoughts on the importance of scouting in a young man's life and why we should do our best in everything we're a pert of . Very nice.
