Movin' on Up

C moved up a rank in Boy Scouts earlier this year. He was supposed to be recognized at the Court of Honour in January but my father in law died unexpectedly in January and J and I traveled to his funeral in Ottawa. I asked if C could be recognized at the Court of Honour last week.

He got the rank of Second Class. In C's troop, the tradition is that the boy scout pins his new pin on his mom, then hugs and kisses her and then shakes his dad's hand.

These are the Boy Scout ranks:

1. Scout
2. Tenderfoot
3. Second Class
4. First Class
5. Star
6. Life
7. Eagle

C has almost completed the requirements for First Class so I expect that he will get that rank at the next Court of Honour in the fall.

At the Courts of Honour, the boys plan the food. This last time the theme was Mexican. There is always a slide show of photos from recent activities. Merit badges are also awarded. One of the badges another scout received was Fingerprinting but the boy announcing it accidentally said "Finger Painting." We had a good laugh at that!

My older son A asked to come along so that was great. He took the photos.
