Lots of questions such as why a year to raise $200, why didnt the cemetery take the initiative to have a stone placed there, etc.,etc.......

But then again, had it all been too easy, the little scout would be less closer to being a man than he is today. God does work in mysterious ways....

I was going to write the same thing.

"I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and my Country to help other people and to obey the law of the pack."

This Webelo lives the Cub Scout Promise.

I stand and salute this young man.

This is why that I am a Scoutmaster
and a Webelos Den Leader

Good for you! I serve on the district committee and my husband is an Asst. SM, and we have two boys in a troop.

Thanks for all you do!

My father was a Scouting professional his entire life, and before that was Eagle and OA.

My son is a Webelos. Click on my profile and you can see him standing with us.

The Black Hawks from our local ARNG fly over our house and we started waving at them. They noticed and occasionally circle our house. Ultimately one of them came to our door and invited us to tour the unit! We got the whole group together and took the tour!

Normally, it is just us moms doing a field trip but it just so happened the DADS even came along on this particular field trip! LOL I got a huge kick out of that.

Thanks. Patriotism is a good thing. Honoring the dead is a good thing. Honoring those who serve is a good thing. Taking initiative is a good thing

Lots of good things here.

Talk about an Eagle Scout Project! This should remain in his records and be considered his completed project.

Don't sell him short. If he is doing stuff this good as a Cub Scout, his Eagle Scout project may outshine your expections.

Bless his precious heart!

Thanks for posting.

Would be cool or what, if a Freeper, reading this story said...."Wait as minute, didn't we have an (uncle, brother, friend) in the Navy with a name just like that?"

Nah, never happens in real life, does it?

[cyclotic]

Me too.

Asst. Cubmaster
Webelo Dad and probably a Tiger Den leader next year.

I've got a Webelo and a Tiger. I'll leave my Webelo Den in the capable hands of a friend while I mold the new Yutes.

We're a fairly new Pack and are planning our first ever family campout in 3 weeks. Over 60 people signed up and I'm just a wee bit nervous about making sure I've got all the planning together.

The best part is, we're a home school pack, so our parents are fully involved and assistance is not a problem.

[Bullfrogg]

My wife has been a cubmaster for 25 years, a comittee member for 2 years with my troop, a commissioner for the district on council level, an assist program director at Camp Bob Hardin
plus sshe is chair of the cub day camp in our district, plus numerous other things that involves scouting. The best friends I have are scout leaders, and I trust them because they believe........in the Scout Oath and Law.

Keep up the good work, and the dividends will pay off when you prepare the scouts.......and some you have to repair along the way.

Hi, I’m the person that wrote this story. This was probably one of my best and the most touching story I had the privilege to write. Glad to see everyone else liked it too!

[Hoosier Catholic Momma]

It is an awesome story! Do you know whatever happened to this young man? I have a son who is a second-year Webelo and his dad is an assistant den leader.

[TravisClark]

No, I was stationed elsewhere shortly thereafter. Thanks for the kind words.
