Advancement and Merit Badge





























Benjamin and Gary had their awards night for Boy Scouts. Benjamin was the patrol leader and posted the colors with Gary and a couple other scouts. This was a big night because the boys received their advancements. Benjamin got ten badges all together these included seven merit badges, star advancement and two awards from scout camps. Gary received two advancements in the scouting program and now is a first class. He also received three merit badges. We are very proud of their accomplishments. If you asked them what they liked most about Boy Scouts they would say camping and being able to carry and use a knife. They both purchased their own knives over the past couple of weeks. I was proud of them for using their own money to make the purchases and more then a little apprehensive on them actually using them!
