my scouts

Last fall I was asked to be the den leader for the Wolf scouts in my area. I thought it sounded kind of fun and the bonus was that I get to work with Thomas, as this is his age group until he turns nine. I have a partner in crime, Lisa, and between the two of us, lets just say it was kind of like the blind leading the blind in the beginning. I think we are finally starting to catch on now. It really is super fun and I am so glad I get to do it.

Lisa organized this field trip to the Home Depot earlier this month. These little boys had no problems at all using hammers, glue and nails.

We barely had to offer any help. They just went right in and built their shelves with expertise.

You can see Lisa in this picture and her son, Nick, who was so nice to help man the troops.

I think Bryan is pleased with his race car themed shelf.

Ben finished his with no problems.

Thomas loved putting cars on his shelf when he got home.

Zera should get the best hair award at all den meetings.

Peyton had some advantage over the others, as his dad is a contractor and I think has shown him a few tricks.

Tait was the first to complete his shelf.

The thing that I love about this age group is they all want to be there and be the first to offer help. They shoot their hands up in the air as fast as they can when you ask for a volunteer for ANYTHING. It really is the cutest thing ever. I just wish this enthusiasm lasted forever! I love these little guys! I love my job as their den leader.
