Order of the Arrow & Boy Scout Camp

Tonight, we had the privilege of watching my nephew be tapped out for Order of the Arrow, a special recognition in Boy Scouts.  I am so proud of him!  This is an honor bestowed upon him by his fellow Boy Scouts.

He probably would have gotten it 2 years ago had they not moved.  I have been upset for him that he was not chosen in his home troop, here where he used to live, b/c he wasn't here in person (as a reminder to them that he does exist), he wasn't known well enough in his new troop, and that it has taken so long.  Finally, he was chosen by his new troop, and we got to go to Summer Camp to watch/experience the ceremony.

Way to go, Bub!  Gram and I are super, super proud of you!  Love you!

He was lounging when we first arrived at camp.

Telling us something about his camp experience.

He was in charge of their Flag Ceremony.  He was so good and a great Caller.

Walking and talking with his Gram.  Moments like this make me sooooo happy!
