Cub Scouts

Now that Joseph has turned eight a few months ago, we thought it was time to get him involved in scouting.  We had looking into it before, but the logistics seemed too much to make it happen.  Luckily, this time when we looked into it, they had a BSA cub scout pack that met at the American Club on Saturday afternoons which seemed doable.  So we signed him up and met the other boys and parents involved. 

Once the current leader of the Bear Den learned that I had been a scout as a youth and a scout leader before, he quickly passed the baton to me, so now I am the Den Leader.  I must admit that the logistics of coordinating cub scouts is exponentially more headache in Jakarta than it was in Houston.  However, Joseph is very excited to participate in the scouting program which as been a family favorite for four generations now. 

I attached some pictures of Joseph's uniform.  It is a mix of official BSA gear imported from the US and locally sourced content.  I continued the tradition of my father and sewed on the patches myself by hand.  Hopefully, he will have many positive memories of scouting as I did growing up.
