A Pair of Bobcat Cubs

Spencer and Preston

Spencer and Preston recently earned their Bobcat award in the Cub Scout program.  They both love Cub Scouts and have been working hard to advance.  As part of the ceremony, while receiving their awards, Mom and Dad got to paint up their faces!  We are proud of them!

My family read this post, and they requested that I add a bit about the award ceremony, so here goes. 

When Preston was called up to receive his Bobcat just as the award was presented to him, and everything was very quiet, he ripped one!  Not to loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear!  A couple of the Cubs began to giggle, and then the entire audience lost it!  Laughter errupted and Dad turned red....  That's my boy!

Cubs Make a Splash in Jackson

Will, Tate, Joseph, Jantzen, Justin, and Brandon stand pool side at the rec center in Jackson Hole. The group recently traveled to Jackson Hole to have some fun swimming and to pass off some of their swimming. By all reports the kids had a load of fun!

S'more Summer Fun

We held our August cub scout pack meeting at the Auburn shelter. We have held all our pack meetings this summer there. We had a great time. The highlight of the evening was the making of smores!

Brother Jim Bagshaw shows us what a perfectly toasted marshmallow should look like! He is the Bishopric representative for the cub scout program in our ward.

Preston thinks a perfectly roasted marshmallow should end up charred! As you will see, so do most everyone else under the age of twelve.

Spencer's marshmallow. A nice hew of BLACK! I think he enjoys playing with the flame, as much as eating the smore.

Emily Walker showing off her toasting abilities! Emily is the wolf den leader.

Emily Isaacson with her marshmallow supreme. Emily is the new primary president.

Tate showing us just how big his mouth is, along with his marshmallow!

Brock dressed in his uniform (way to go Brock), and with his marshmallow.

Jantzen displays his roasting skills! Jantzen is the newest member of the cubs!

Ruby's marshmallow is actually golden brown! She has a more refined taste for a good smore than the boys!

Lori Chadwick with her nicely browned marshmallow's. Lori is the Bear den leader.

WEBELOS Over Nighter

This is the second weekend in a row spent doing scout activities... I guess it keeps me out of trouble.


Bob 'Whoompa' Roberts teaches the boys first aid. He is the Safety Specialist for Smoky Canyon. He is also highly envolved with the Lincoln County Search and Rescue and the Afton Volunteer Fire Department. You may also remember Whoompa from an earlier post. I went on a 10 day pack trip with him and others into the Yellowstone! Whoompa did a great job with the first aid.

Cub Scout Day Camp

Today the cub scouts in Star Valley had a day camp. The theme was around the world. I had to man the Africa Station. They could not have picked a better day! It has been horrible weather the past few weeks. The last two days it has snowed, rained, hailed and has been down right cold. Today was beautiful! Sunny and nice pleasant temperatures.

Since I was working a station I didn't get a chance to take many pictures.



Scouts and leaders sitting receiving instruction shortly after the opening ceremonies.

Scouts participating in the obstacle coarse. They had sack races, Frisbee tosses, beam walking, rope climbing, etc.

A couple of scouts hanging around after the stations where finished with.
