Jacob and Jack are about a month into Cub Scouts. Of course with everything their attitudes and aptitudes give each boy's experience different.
Jacob loves going through the list of requirements for each badge. He has already completed two badges because he is driven to finish the list.
Jack likes to do the different activities but slower. Some of the requirements he has jumped at, others he says no thanks. He has started about 4 different badges, completing about half or more of the requirements but not finishing any yet.
The great thing about the badges, for both boys, is that it gives us something to do together. At first I was tempted to sign off on a lot of the badge requirements because they are things we have already done BUT after consideration I didn't. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to spend time doing activities with the boys. Last night, as a family we did a Mario Cart video game family tournament (Tiger-iffic Badge) and the other day we all counted our steps in the backyard to compare step sizes (Code of the Wolf Badge).
I can't wait to see what else Cub Scouts have in store for us!
