Eagle Scout!

We had Mitchell's Eagle Court of Honor on the first of February. I feel bad that it took so long to have it. He actually had his board of review back in October. But life has been so busy, it took a while to get it on the calendar. Mitchell's good friend Jake got his the same night. It was so nice to see them share this night together! They have been in scouting together since we moved here 8 years ago. They got their arrow of light awards together, went to Catalina scout camp together and worked their tails off at Philmont scout camp together. Good job guys!!

We had a really nice program. Bishop Hodson said some nice things, Bishop Lords spoke about becoming an Eagle and what that means. Then we had a fun slide show of the boys. Mitchell was a cute little boy! I can't believe he is all grown up! Becoming an Eagle scout is a huge deal. Mitchell worked so hard for this! I am so proud of him!

Mitchell gave his mentor pin to Jeff Vance. Jeff was Mitchell's scout master his first few years of scouts. He is a great guy! The boys call him Ffej.
