Arrow of Light Birthday Party

On August 14 we had the Cub Scout Campout. It was also Calebs birthday. We decided it would be really cool to have his Arrow of Light ceremony out at the lake. His friend got his award too. So with the help of Chris Youngberg, Bishop Rowe and Carl we had a pretty fantastic ceremony. Chris used B. Rowes Indian costume and script and rowed into camp in a canoe that Carl brought out. And instead of turning the electric lights, our friend Jen brought tiki torches for the boys to light. With a few sticks, some rope and imagination we made a bridge for them to cross into Boy Scouts. The girls just had fun running around and getting dirty and making SMORES (pretty much the best part of any campfire). Nanny and Grandpa were also there to celebrate Caleb's achievement.

By the way - thanks for the clothes!!!! I was worried that they would be too small for Chad - but they all fit and were much needed -- thank you!!!!
