Hunter joined cub scouts in 1st grade and we have had 5 busy years growing, having fun and making new friends. Since Eric had an odd schedule and he was more of an hotel guy, I did most of the activities (under some protest) with Hunter. During his time as a cub scout we went summer & winter camping, (we even sleep on the snow), we hiked, went to den and pack meetings, made pine wood derby cars, rockets and boats, went on go see its, did service hours just to name a few. Hunter made wonderful friends with the boys and enjoys every minute of scouts. Last month he and his den crossed over into boy scouts. They all earned the highest rank in cub scouts, Arrow of Light, and had a beautiful ceremony to celebrate. The boys all joined the same boy scout troop and have begun to participate in activities. Hunter knows that I am going to step back a bit from scouts, and let him explore scouts with support from me but not as much involvement. I love that he enjoys camping, outdoor activities, getting dirty, learning, growing and maturing. I hope he enjoys many more years of Scouts.

Hunter is so handsome and such a great kid. You are an awesome parent! Thank you for sharing and continuing to post. I am sure everything is bitter and sweet. Just try to enjoy the sweet :-) Hugs to you! Cindy F
Good job Hunter!
You both have a lot to be proud of. Hunter's smile is so wonderful! Eagle Scout is definitely in his future.
Hunter has the most infectious smile! What a handsome young man he is becoming. So happy to see he is enjoying his time in scouts. We did that with both of our boys and have lots of great memories (and some hilarious pictures!) You are such a trooper, I don't think I could do the "camp on the snow" thing!
Love & hugs,

Wow--that Kid has a million dollar smile. Good to hear from you. Zap me an email as I lost your phone number and email. Keep up the recovery, and take care of yourself. I know the next month will be hard; it still is for my Erik.
Love you both bunches like bananas,LCS
What fabulous pictures! Hunter's smile just makes me smile!! You should post some on Facebook! So glad that you guys can enjoy the scouts - I loved the Girl Scouts when I was his age. Much love to you both,
Sue
