Josh earned his first merit badges and is now a Tenderfoot Scout!
Dallin earned his Star Rank and 9 more merit badges.
Brennen earned his colors and first few Activity Badges for Webelos.
I really don't know how it happened when we worked so hard for this to not happen again and we let everyone we were supposed to know that Court of Honor was Oct. 22nd. The Young Women were apparently late having their YW in Excellence night and so we got bumped to the SAME NIGHT AGAIN AS PACK MEETING! I really feel you can't understand the stress this causes unless you are the one spending hours and hours for weeks before the Court of Honor, organizing the boys awards, updating and submitting all the info to Council, dealing with angry parents for why their boys aren't where they should be (not too much of this or I'd quit!), buying, and then hours of putting together all the awards that have to happen for this special night. To have it back to back with Brennen's Pack Meetings seems to me unfair to Brennen when we are so worried about all the stuff for Court of Honor and setting up when we should be enjoying his Pack Meeting. Since we are the only ones with the problem right now it seems to get overlooked. We had a good time anyway and did get to see Brennen receive his awards. At least this time I didn't have to do the whole program as well! I just had to play piano.
