Boy Scout Camp

Danny had so much fun at Boy Scout Camp. I was nervous that he would be gone for a whole week, but he was ready to go and earn some merit badges. I have to laugh, before he left he had signed up for 6 merit badges to earn while he was at camp. Several leaders approached Matt and I and told us they thought he was taking on too much as a first year. Boy, did he prove them wrong! He not only achieved them, but he ranked at the top or close to the top in the rankings for archery and rifle shooting.


Danny actually had a pretty interesting thing happen on the archery range. He was shooting an arrow at the same time as an older scout. Their arrows crossed paths and Danny's arrow went through the middle of the other scouts arrow and Danny still hit the target!


When Danny returned home, he was so excited to tell us about everything and had a big hug for me and a big Thank You for his dad for all the time spent target practing while we are up North.

I think this was a fun way to see that his dad really does do things with him that will benefit him in the future.

Danny is so excited about next year!
