While in Statesboro Timmy also experienced his first Boy Scout weekend camping trip. Here is Timmy entering the camp…

During his weekend Timmy learned a lot of new skills. Because of his age Timmy learned archery with rubber tips over the arrows.

However, Timmy was still able to make his arrow stick in the target…

Timmy also learned to shoot a BB gun. He shot 14 shots and 11 of them hit the target. Hmmm… I think he has some aiming skills we didn’t know about…

Timmy also learned how to shoot marbles…

Pan for gold…

And he made a walking stick for future adventures….

Although Timmy gets to go to a few Cub Scout meetings while we are in Statesboro, the Girl Scouts do not have any regular meetings while we are here. They have a few group activities so we plan on participating in those. One of the activities was folding and bagging pocket flags for the soldiers. Here is Samantha holding one of the flags with the other scouts in front of the table full of the bagged flags…

The next week we met them at Ft. Stewart to hand the flags out to the soldiers. Samantha read something to the soldiers that told them what each fold of the flag stood for. The other Girl Scout that came read the poem that was included with the flags. Here are the girls while Samantha was reading and a picture of the girls in front of the soldiers and by one of the trucks.

This Saturday we have a Sock Hop and before we leave we have a sleepover at the mall! :) She is really looking forward to it. We are going to sign her up for some of the camps while we are in Pennsylvania this summer. Nathan has Timmy signed up for camping events all summer. :)

Timmy has officially started Cub Scouts and Nathan has found groups in Statesboro and Pennsylvania for them to do things with. Timmy is a Lone Scout which means he doesn’t have a troop. Timmy will go to a meeting for the first time on Monday. Here is Timmy in his uniform….

Samantha has started Junior Girl Scouts. Samantha is a Juliette which is the Girl Scout version of a Lone Scout. The groups around here are finishing up their year end things but there are a few events that we are going to go to. The one she is most excited about is a all-nighter at the mall! :) Here is Samantha in her sash…

I am laughing so hard right now!! Nathan was going over the cub scout laws with Timmy. He told him that a cub scout follows Akela. My mom was in here washing dishes and what she heard was, “A Cub scout drinks tequila!”

I will update tonight with pictures of Timmy in uniform and Samantha in her girl scout uniform since we are now undertaking both.
