Scout week is 4 - 12 February.

The DC is my former boss at work and the DE is an eager young fellow (newlywed too). He's going to be alright I think. Has a lot to learn yet but he's coming along nicely and willing to learn and help.

The line for the Communications MB is understandable as it's a required one for Eagle.

Keep an eye on their progress and age towards Eagle and contemplate challenging them to go for the Hornaday Conservation Award once Eagle is done. That's a MAJOR Award for after Eagle and tough to earn.

From the sound of how they came home they'll sleep well tonight and be in bed early.

OK, that's it! We were just upstairs talking about this an hour ago. You either have a camera in our home or you need to go get a lottery ticket. :-)

I am wondering why you said "after Eagle", though.

My oldest son is interested in it now.
He has two of the bold MB requirements - Env Science, and now Forestry.
And he has two of the non-bold MBs - Fishing and Nuclear Science.

So all he needs is Fish and Wildlife, which he just got a signed blue card for....and to do the project.

We were also talking about the World Conservation Panda. My oldest son just needs Fish and Wildlife for that as well.

Glad to hear you like your DE!
