abe advanced to a bear last week. (sadie was our photographer) he usually misses scouts due to soccer practices, but he was determined to finish. we watched his cousin get his eagle a few days before and abe decided he wants to do the same. abe has a real desire to do scouting. to me it has always been one more thing to do...but my attitude is changing. i listened to his cub master speak and she talked about how scouting helps boys be aware of others needs and serve them. in other words, it prepares them to be good husbands and fathers. i never thought of it like that, and now i am dedicated to help him. well, i helped him anyway, but my motivation is different.
