Scouting fun

January was a fun month for Chase and Trey in scouts. First of all, Trey earned his Wolf badge along with a gold arrow point and 6 silver arrows. He was so excited to earn his Wolf badge and we are so proud of him and the work that he put into it. Way to go Trey! **I don't know why the lighting in the pictures always turns out so weird at the church.**
For pack meeting the cub scouts had turtle races. They had painted their turtles a couple of den meetings before (while Chase was still in cub scouts). Chase and Trey had fun racing their turtles. Chase was the over-all winner . . . mainly because he had an unfair height advantage. :) Matt even got in on the fun!

And finally, Chase got to go on his first of many winter campouts. He was so excited to go and sleep in a snow cave. When he and Matt got there though all the scouts were in a tent and the dads were in a camper. Chase chose to sleep with his friends rather than dig a snow cave. The next morning they did a bunch of snow challenges (sled pulling, fire building, etc). Chase and Matt ended up coming home early due to a wreck Chase had on the sled that jarred his back. I am glad that Matt was able to take the night off work to be able to take Chase. He had a blast on his first campout as a scout.
