A Crossover!

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.
