A scout is . . .

(Noah and his best buddy Lewis)
This past Friday Noah had his Crossover Ceremony. This is where the boys "crossover" into the next phase of their journey to become boyscouts. He has one more rank to make before becoming a boys scout and that is the rank of Webelos. (We'll Be Loyal Scouts). This is an 18 month section -so he will basically have almost two more years in cub scouts. Each boy must cross over the bridge with each of the scouting laws written on the planks.
A Scout is . . .
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent

I see so many of these qualities in Noah already. He has such a heart for God and people. He humbles Bob and I daily with his love for those around him - total strangers on the street he is burdened to witness to and share God with them.
Noah is growing into a fine young man and we are so blessed to be his parents. It is a true joy to watch him lead and serve those around him.
As you look over the list of qualities a scout should have - remember Christ expects nothing less from us - it is a wonderful lesson for all of us to learn and take with us throughout our daily life.

Go ye therefore . . . Lisa
