Eagle Scout Court of Honor

No kidding! He finished up all the requirements a couple months ago, went on the Eagle Scout trip to New York City, and had his Court of Honor with his friend, Paul Deibel. It was a little scary trying to get things put together but I think it turned out well enough. I did forget one little thing - the Eagle Scout neckerchief! Yikes! What was I supposed to do? Fortunately, Ben Boss showed up in uniform and I sheepishly asked if I could use his for my Ben. He said yes, no problem, of course (because he's that kind of guy). So, in the end we had a great time celebrating these two boys who worked so hard to accomplish this great honor! Good job, boys!

Seth Boss was the Master of Ceremonies

Dan Westercamp was asked to give a talk.

What great freinds - or frenemies, as Ben says

This is the not so great cake that I made - Marissa put on the lettering.

We also brought no bake cookies - because Ben asked for them.

I'm not sure what else we took (since I'm writing this in May 2019)

It was a nice party for the boys!

Mrs. Cindy, from the library came, and so did Tracy, our neighbor! What a treat!
