Friday night was the Blue and Gold Banquet which Peter has been quite excited for mostly because he was going to get his Wood Badge Beads. His Wood Badge course seems so long ago (May 2009) but he worked hard and finished his ticket items even with a move that changed some of what he had originally planned.
We were able to join in the presentation. Brother Woodwell from our stake came to present the beads and award.
He brought a Kudu horn which is blown during the Wood Badge course.
After I took off his old neckerchief, Joey got to place his beads around his neck and Jon checked to make sure they were really cool!
I was lucky enough to put his new Wood Badge neckerchief and knot on. Peter may have to make an addendum to this to correct some of my terminology or explanations.
So happy and so proud! I am so proud of him too! He loves scouting and because he does our boys do already. I am so grateful for the skills and knowledge he has gained through being a scout and being a leader. FYI: the average length of time that an LDS scout master holds that calling is 82 days! Peter reminded our bishop last night he wanted to be in for at least another year so he could get the cubmaster knot.
After Peter's award, the party began. They did a knights of the round table sort of thing. We had turkey, potatoes, corn, beans and an amazing dragon cupcake cake.
Then there were catapults (yellow things on the tables) to play with, wooden swords, a real suit of armor to play with, jousting as seen below and they could try to make some chain mail if they wanted too.
Great food, great scouts, great husband, great friends, great night!
