The long skiing season has not ended, yet we need to let go.
Our founding member of Scouts Troop 7g (girls) at the first Court of Honor. She is awarded the rank of "Scout".
Some reluctance about whether this really is her calling. Lying in bed all day reading books seems more attractive.
At the same Court of Honor. Awards are:
- Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge
- Communication Merit Badge
- Personal Fitness Merit Badge
Yes, same merit badges.
This is Abraham enjoying his chosen milk rice dinner in large quantities, for his 14th Birthday!
