Arrow of Light


Porter earned his Arrow of Light on Tuesday! He loves scouts and everything he learns there. Some times when I need him to do a better job at something, I will ask him what the motto for scouts is...Do Your Best and he will change instantly, it's powerful. I love what President Benson said about scouting, "It's better to build boys then to mend men." That is so true. What an amazing program scouting is, even the people that are so against the church will let their kids come to scouts and we can talk about prayer and God because the B.S.A. includes it as part of the program. Any way I do have a testimony of scouting...I know round table has a bad rep. but Brother Dalquist (the old presiding Bishop) said, "if you have ever gone to a bad round table go again, if it is bad, go again, if it is still bad, VOLUNTEER!

Good job Porter! That is great he is so excited about scouting. Justin is in Webelos now so I need to read his book and figure out what he needs to do to get his Arrow of Light. Summer is when we do most of his scouting so I better get busy!
