Because we live a fairly long distance from most of our kids we don't get to see the small and large steps in the lives of each of our grandchildren. Some of these events are pretty important especially for the child. I'm thinking of baptism for example. We have been able to make it down south for a couple of such occasions but usually we're going to have to rely on Ed's family to see our grandchildren's growth.
Take Cub Scouting for instance. We've been able to see Timothy move from Tiger Cub to Wold to bear and to Webelos and Jacob is following in his brother's footsteps. What's especially gratifying about this is that when the pack has needed leadership Ed has stepped into the breach.
Our latest involvement with the cubs was their blue & gold dinner during which they also celebrtated the advancement of their Webelos to the scout troop of their choice. (The fact that this scout troop has 42 active boys might have something to do with their choice.)Edward prepared many of the visual aids for the graduation ceremony including an advancement "bridge".
