Webelo in the house

ten-HUT! After uniform inspection, Logan's den earned their Bear Rank and moved up to Webelos.

The boys need to wear their new badge upside down until they do a good deed, so of course, the boy is held upside down while the badge is pinned on.

This was also our last Pack Meeting with Mr, Armstrong as cubmaster. His passion for scouts shines through everything he does for the pack. We will all miss him very much!!

Cubs a Caroling

The Pack did their annual caroling at the Gateway center. The boys did a wonderful job!

A fun way to spread some Christmas Cheer

S.E.A.L. school

Logan's cub scout den had an amazing opportunity to tour the S.E.A.L. training center on Coronado Island. They started in the briefing room where they learned about the history of SEALs and what they do today along with some of the details of their training. I learned that I would NEVER make it as a SEAL (for so many reasons!) since one of their training requirements is to stay awake for an entire week...

From the briefing room, we toured the grounds...this is one of their mascots

Being SEALs, boats make up a good part of their training. Each of those boats weighs 250 lbs. TEAMWORK!!

Once down to the beach, Officer Garnett (a former cub scout and now Bear Den leader for his son's den) showed the boys how to climb a rope.

Logan could really climb!!

Then it was off to the obstacle course, wow, this looks impossible!! Next was a uniform inspection and some pointers on a proper salute and handshake.

We finished the tour with a good dose of reality. Officer Garnett pointed out the name of Petty Officer Michael Anthony Monsoor, who received the Medal of Honor posthumously when he threw himself on a grenade saving 8 other men. He made it very clear to the boys that going to war was serious business with considerable consequences. It was a powerful way to put this all in perspective.
