News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
The Blue and Gold ceremony was recently held in the Ad-Diwan building. The ceremony marks the anniversary of the Cub Scout program and is also when major ranks have been awarded. Kai was awarded his Bear Scout badge!
A few weeks ago the pack held the Cub Scouts held an event that allowed scouts the chance to practice some time honored sports such as archery, tomahawk tossing and spear throwing. The local Boy Scouts got a great opportunity to practice some leadership and the scouts had a lot of fun. A good time was had by all provided they had a high tolerance for elementary students throwing sharp objects.
Last Thursday was the annual Cub Scout Soap Box derby. After a mild (even cold) winter it was probably our first taste of what summer will have in store. A hot, dry, dusty, windy day. Still, it wasn’t unbearable and the event went well. Kai won two of his three races which he was pretty excited about.
