Tuesday mean Scout Night for both Kyle and I. I'm working with the Bears. Currently we have 12 Bears. Yes, 12 active and fun 9 year old boys, did I mention they are VERY active. I love my partner Laurel and together we have lots of fun. Yesterday we attempted to make bird housed with the boys. Lots of hammers, bent nails, smashed fingers and too many boys needing our help at once. It was crazy, but over in 1 hour. With the help from some hot glue at the end the boys all took their bird houses home. The boys seem to love to come each week. If they are on time they get a carnival ticket, another ticket if in uniform, and another ticket if they have their scout book. At the end of scouts we give out 3 dollar store prizes. It we have behavior issues, we ask the boys for their ticket back and they are all very motivated to keep their tickets.
Kyle works with the 11-year old Boy Scouts. Colton just advanced from Kyle's group on his birthday. Kyle had a busy September with camp outs. He went camping twice and is working hard to help his boys advance.

those are some cute scout ideas, I may be stealing
We LOVE scouts at our house too. I do have a little envy though because you can recycle all your love for scouts to the next son. Too much fun!
I'm glad you got the pics working. You are so amazingly dedicated to every calling in your life. Looks fun, but no envy here. Maybe you'll be called to Activity Days when Lindsay is old enough.

What great ideas for those scouts of yours!
You and Kyle would be the best scout leaders! We really miss you here! So fun to check in to see how things are going!
