Today we celebrated Tyler's accomplishment in Cub Scouts. He achieved his Arrow of Light. He worked hard and diligently in completing all that he to do to reach this point. Tyler was so excited for this night (as well as his parents).
Tyler waiting to start. He was a little nervous about reciting the scout oath.
We put all of Tyler's things in a shadow box. This is the display of pretty much everything he's done. These are also his three cars from the Pinewood Derbies he competed in. The maroon one was his first car. It didn't place. The silver car placed 1st in our ward derby as well as the black one. The black on was by far the fastest of the three and went on to place 3rd in the district and 15th in the state.
Here's the family that was able to come out and support Tyler.
Tyler rehearsing with his dad. I just have to mention that when Randy was a Cub Scout, he too completed his Arrow of Light.
Cousins!

I'm not sure the name of this gentlman, but he is from the Order of the Arrow in our district.

Tyler being sworn into Boy Scouts. Tyler thought that he was going to recite the oath by himself, but the ended up doing it together. He did good. He knew it all.

You are so good at taking lots of pictures. This next week Manhattan bridges to Brownie Scouts and we will see how many pictures I will take. Good job Tyler!
You know I don't think they have cub scouts or boy scouts here in New Zealand. At least its not very popular. But Logan apparently did it for a bit when he was young. That's really great Tyler. Congratulations! When you get into Young Men's you'll have your Duty to God done in no time! :)
Great Job Tyler, you did a fantastic job! And I enjoyed seeing all the pics!!!
