Jacob's Eagle Scout Court of Honor

Jacob before his first Cub Scout meeting - age 8
On Nov. 12, Jacob was awarded his rank of Eagle Scout. The Court of Honor was really nice. James' Mom, my Dad and Jody, and my brother Andrew all came to help us celebrate. In addition, lots of our friends came, as well as Jacob's pediatrician and debate coach. James set up a cool display with a tent and real trees, we put up a table with all of Jacob's Cub Scout stuff (he earned every possible thing as a Cub Scout) and a little slide show of all his scouting experiences. We had lots of help with the refreshments (FYI Sam's Club has a cool Scout cake decal), and a good friend took pictures for us so we could just enjoy ourselves - thanks Ben. It was such a nice evening and I am so proud of Jacob's accomplishment and the young man he has become.
