STAR SCOUT

Justin had a really great past six months in scouts.

He sold scout fair tickets to raise money for camp. he also earned a water bottle and two movie tickets for his efforts. He earned 5 merit badges : First Aid, Communication, Railroading, Engineering and Hiking. The hiking merit badge took a good 9 months. They did a pre hike of 5 miles and then four 10 mile hikes and a 20 mile Hike.

He aslo is the knot champion of the Troop. He is the Minute man, this means he can tie 5 knots in less than a minute. This competition was with the whole troop and not even something he had practiced.

He also earned his STAR rank. Justin is moving along quickly he loves scout. Notice the boys next to him are much older. He often gets mistaken for one of the older boys when mature scouts are needed or when there is an activity that only oder boys are invited to. His dad and I are so proud of him. Cody looks up to him too. When he joins net year he wants to join his big brothers patrol.

So after STAR is LIFE and then EAGLE. He should put on life shortly after Scout camp this sumer.
