One of the perks of turning 11 is moving up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. To celebrate, we had crab for dinner, Ben's favorite! Actually, it wasn't really a planned celebration, it just so happened that Brad's business partner, Mark, brought him six crab that day. But a spontaneous celebration is sometimes even better than a planned one!
Ben also earned his arrow of light, and since I was the one who painted the arrows, I got to award them to the boys.
Four boys turned 11 in October and they all got to cross over together.
Ben, Greysen, Blake, and Hiram:
Their Webelos leaders, Dennis and Whitney Manning, have been so amazing! They said they will really miss all the boys. Dennis leading Ben along the ceremonial path to Boy Scouts:

Proud Grandpa! Hopefully he will be Scout Master for a few more years, at least until Ben gets his Eagle!
