Cub Scouts Cross Over Ceremony | May 12, 2012

This weekend Max got to participate in his Cub Scout Pack's crossing over ceremony.  The 5 boys in his den had accomplished their requirements and were crossing over from Tiger status to Wolf.

The weekend kicked off with lots of games and fun and ended with a  camp out at Warren County (i.e. Armco) Park.  From 9am on Saturday through 9am Sunday Max and Chris were knee deep (literally) in creek water, relay races, regatta racing, campfires and crazy boys.  Although they did take a 90 minute break in the afternoon so Max could play in his baseball game.

At 7pm on Saturday the Pack held the ceremony for the boys to "cross over" to another group.  And cross over they did.  A bridge was constructed by the older kids, with parental help, and as part of the ceremony the boys went over it one by one.  Max's neckerchief went from orange to yellow and he was very proud.

This was his first real camping experience and he absolutely loved it.  If you ask him his favorite part was the creek.  (we really need to clear our back yard of all the crappy weeds because we have a creek he could play in daily!)  I received many text and video updates throughout the weekend showing me all the fun he was having.  Pretty sure naps are in order today though... for both Max and Chris!

Here are a few pics I got when I went for the ceremony.  Not great but pics nonetheless...
