Cub Scouts: Flag Ceremony

We were a little late getting Teagan signed up but we just found out about the Cub Scout pack here and were very excited for Teagan to get to join the den. He’ll be following in his Grandpy’s footstep who was a Boy Scout who went all the way to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout when he was a kid. The first thing Teagan got to attend with his pack was a flag ceremony that the pack leads at the start of the city council meeting. Teagan’s been working very hard on his tiger cub handbook and memorizing all the things he needs to memorize like the Cub Scout promise and he especially enjoyed learning the Cub Scout sign, handshake and salute. The den mother told the boys in the pack that Teagan would be joining their pack at the last meeting which Teagan missed because of being sick with the croup, so when we walked into the lobby at City Hall all the boys ran up to Teagan and said hi and just started chatting away like they knew him and like it was a given that they were already friends. It was very heartwarming to see. Even though Teagan is such an outgoing and friendly little guy who is quite the ladies’ man at times he’s always struggled with feeling like he doesn’t have any friends.  And for all those boys to be so warm and friendly right off the bat put such a smile on my face. Teagan was very proud to be wearing his new uniform and had fun showing them that he knew the Cub Scout handshake. We’re very excited to start out on this new adventure with Teagan and we’re looking forward to see where this will take him.
