More Scouts

February 3, 2023

Not only has Maxwell been camping out a lot but he’s been earning merit badges and doing service hours.

These boys did a nice job cleaning up the nature trail at school to earn some hours!

Maxwell and two other scouts from his troop completed one part of the hiking merit badge in December by going on a 20 mile hike!! Whoa!! It took them about 12 hours but they did it! Very, very proud of this accomplishment. That’s hiking a marathon!

In November they had Court of Honor where Maxwell was recognized for earning several merit badges and Tenderfoot rank.

Not only is Maxwell involved in scouts, but I am now as well! Yep, I’m the new Scout Mom. Well, my official title is “Troop Chairman” and it’s turning out to be quite a job! I love it though…anything for my favorite 12 year old. I’m so proud of him!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Doctor Report

January 23, 2023

I finally got the boys up for their annual checkup in January. They got a good report all around!

Maxwell is 4’11 – almost 5 feet! He weighs 81 lbs. That’s up 2 inches and 9 lbs from last year! He’s 25th % for height, and 40th % for weight. He’s steadily growing – though I do feel like he’s on the verge of a major growth spurt!

Spencer is 4’8 and a 1/4 and 74 lbs. That’s a growth of 2 and a 1/4 inches from last year and a gain of 11 lbs. He’s 70th % for heights and 50th % for weight. Strong and growing!

I didn’t get any pictures but here’s some from a few days later – these give a good picture of what it’s like with these brothers!!
