I am so proud of Kailen for crossing over to become a Boy Scout.
It was a beautiful ceremony.
~
This is Mr. Lyle Harp, Kailen's den leader.
~
He did a great job with the boys! Thank you Mr. Lyle! We will miss you greatly.
~
The boys earned their final awards and badges for their Cub Scout years.
~
In the Native American tradition, the parents painted their son's faces. Each color represented a different meaning.
~
Kailen was a bit unsure about this in the beginning.
~
As the meanings became apparent.....
~
He was proud to wear the colors.
He also received his Arrow Of Light
~
~
He lit a candle for his mother and one for his father.
It was a very sweet moment.
~
~
Kailen also gave me the honor of being pinned an Arrow Of Light.
~
A very somber moment when Kailen got to retire his first American Flag.
~
Always reminds me of my father and grandfather.
~
The tradition of burning the Arrow.
~
Congratulations to all the boys who crossed over!
~
My little warrior.
~
He was so proud.

Future Boy Scout in AWE of his big brother.
