Saturday night we lost a Cub Scout and gained a Boy Scout. While I’m still trying to figure out where the past 4 1/2 years have gone, Buster keeps reminding me that he is indeed a big boy. The evening started with the Arrow of Light ceremony including the boys shooting flaming arrows. The Scoutmaster then took over for the crossover ceremony. I had always thought it would be hard when we got to this point of his Scouting career but instead, I found that we were all ready to move on and up.
Buster is very excited to be in Boy Scouts. He had his first troop meeting last night. He was proud that the boys voted for his suggestion of flaming arrow for their new patrol. He is also ready to have a Scoutmaster’s conference for his Scout rank already. I hope he keeps up the enthusiasm.

Congratulations to your Boy Scout! The Road to Eagle is a long and winding path. It’s difficult to watch them grow, but it sounds like you’ve got a good one. I was in the Flaming Arrow Patrol, myself, a long time ago.
Yours in Scouting.
