1st Class for Howie

Tonight Howie advanced rank to 1st Class. This was pretty challenging for him because of the swimming requirement. Matt worked with him for several days to help him finish the swimming portion and he finished strong!  He was very relieved to have that part behind him. 

He did a great job leading the flag ceremony. This was a combined Boy Scout and Cub Scout Court of Honor/Pack meeting, so he got to lead in front of a pretty large group. And Howie did it all without looking at any notes. 

Then he got to do his favorite thing and pin his mom.

Howie's 11-year old scout leader, Brother Reynolds, helped him quite a bit!


Although Donovan has gone as far as he can go until he finishes his Eagle Project, he earned the 14er Patch. Now if we can just get him to work on his project.....
