The cub scouts worked hard, studied all sorts of things such as stayed active in their dens, earned several specific achievements as cub scouts, memorized the boy scout law, oath, slogan, motto, outdoor code, handshake, differences between a boy scout uniform and a cub scout one...and more. They finally had their board of review test about a week ago and now it was finally time for the prize. No not the thrill of earning the highest cub scout award or getting a patch to add to their shirt...all these boys cared about was shooting a flaming arrow! In our pack that's what boys who pass the arrow of light get to do.
First it was time to get their Christmas gifts from Santa, their pinewood derby car kits. For my boys and the other Webelos 2's this will be their last Pinewood derby.
Tristan visits with Santa.
Then outdoors for the best part. The boys listen to a story about how cub scouts grow and change from Tiger-Webelos 2. Then they prepare to light and shoot their arrows.
It was about impossible to photograph. It was snowing...hard!
After all the festivities we headed home, in quite a snowstorm.
It was a memorable arrow of light ceremony.

WOW quite the ceremony in the blizzard. Congrats to your new Weblos. Is that the right term?
The name is Webelos, it stands for We'll be loyal scouts (in a funny sort of way). It's the last level of cub scouts.
Snow or not! That's cool! ;-) No pun intended..... LOL
