Feb. 22nd- Scout Day

Feb. 22nd was a busy, fun day.  Ethan had several activities, one of which was a special dedication of a Fort near our home- Fort Mayland.  A 3 time war Vet dedicated this land with the honor of inviting the local scout Pack 1 to aid in this special day.  I am so glad Ethan wanted to participate in this event.  I think it will be one he will remember for a long time. 

 

 The flag waving high....with the POW MIA flag underneath it- dedicated to the 2 boys from high school who enlisted with this man and died in their service of our country.  Freedom really isn't free. 

 His wife gave a little speech on the history of obtaining the land and purchasing the cannon. 

 Here is the family.  The man who served 3 times is on the far left- Red coat.  What a sweet family.  These are 3 of their 5 children. 

 Here is a picture of Ethan with his Pack who attended this dedication.

 Later on, Ethan had his Blue and Gold Banquet for scouts.  He is now a Webelo 1 and enjoying working on his pins.  We was thrilled to be getting 2 pins along with his colors.  We are very, very blessed to have the best scout Pack.  These boys work very hard at doing their best and I can't say enough about the dedication and love of all the leaders.
