Tiger Cub Scouts

This is Daniel and his Den leader, Brett, at the Blue and Gold Banquet. Brett is a great leader and really made the first year of scouting a blast.
Daniel received his Tiger patch .

Fishing
We had a Pack 122 Fishing Day. Daniel was camping with the Young Men so I took the boys. It was a very pleasant day. Lendl loved his own little fishing pole. He was getting the hang of casting his line and reeling it in. Eventually the water won and there was nothing I could do keep him out. It made for a nice smelly ride home. Daniel had a great time. He managed to catch a fish but mostly he loved staying close to the edge to catch minnows.
This was the fish he caught which managed to get him the "smallest fish" trophy. His face, after catching the fish, was absolutely priceless.
Pinewood Derby
Daniel had his first Pinewood Derby this year. He had such a great time deciding on what to do for his car. This truly was his project. He did not have the fastest car, nor the slowest, but the judges liked his design and he won a 3rd place trophy for best design. To him, that was WAY better than having a fast car. There were about 30-40 cars in this years run. Here is a quick video of his car racing. Each car participated in four heats. His car is in lane two...the army car.

We haven't entered the scouting world yet, but it looks like Daniel had a great year!

Aah Cubscouts. Something I feel like I know so much about, but yet to have Brayden experience it. Daniel's face is adorable.

You look great in your scout uniform. Scouting will teach you lots of good things. I like your pinewood derby car. You did a great job!
