Kai’s Eagle Court of Honor

November 20, 2018 was Kai’s Eagle rank Court of Honor.  It was a wonderful ceremony with some touching reflections and much gratitude all around.  (Scroll down for some video).

Here is the short video that played during the program.

Here is a video of the live stream that allowed some loved ones (like grandma and grandpa Jacobs) tune in from far away.

 

Spooner Rodeo Parade 2018

Attending the Spooner Rodeo parade is a summer tradition for the Jacobs family.   We sat with Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs and the Post family and had the treat of watching Kai march with the Spooner Boy Scouts carrying a flag at the head of the parade with the Amvets.

Boy Scouts – Kai

Here are a few pictures of Kai’s scouting activities this spring.  He’s been working toward his Eagle project, finishing up merit badges and serving as an assistant senior patrol leader.   He gets back from his Indonesian trip in a few days and then his Eagle project is just a week away.

Fall Activities and Performances

Fall activities and performances…

Camp Dobbins

This past week Kai spent 6 nights at the Chris Dobbins Boy Scout Camp along with twenty other scouts from Troop 1 in Dhahran.   There was sun, rain, lightning and hail but everyone survived and Kai had an “awesome” time.

Random March Gallery

It is like a brand new website!   After months of inattention I’ve revisited the Jacobs family website and update the theme and gallery template.   Here are a few pictures to start off with and there are lots more to come – the Mada’in Saleh trip and Kai’s trip to Tanzania are up next.

Feel the Burn

This week was the “Feel the Burn” fitness challenge put on by the fire department. It involved a parade and a big festival at the Kings road fields. The Boy Scouts put together the jr. challenge where kits ran an obstacle course that involved carrying a fire truck, running hoses, climbing ladders to rescue cats all while wearing fire fighter gear. Kai’s job was to re-coil the hoses between runs.

Here are a few pictures from recent events in Chez Jacobs. The Fall Court of Honor for Boy Scouts where Kai presented the Tenderfoot rank awards and preparing for the middle school Halloween dance.
