Rewarding Rylan


The same weekend as the Evan and Trevan post, Rylan had a pack meeting for Cub Scouts and was advanced to the rank of Bear. It took longer then we thought it would but that was because he worked very hard for his awards and made sure they were each done exactly right. He was done for quite a while minus the backward roll! Who would have thought that a backward roll could stump him! He kept at it and along with everything else in his book he completed it 100% and got to advance.


His Cub Master put together a really cute game for him play since he was the only one earning awards that meeting and advancing a rank. Rylan had a lot of fun with it.


That same morning the elementary school had an awards assembly for the previous nine week grading period and Rylan scored his yellow star for the all A honor roll (an unbroken streak!) and his blue star for excellence in behavior (also unbroken streak!). They wear them on their school shirts and the classes get awarded as a whole for the class each Friday who has the most. It's a fun incentive thing they have going on and we are happy to say having Rylan in your class always significantly boosts some numbers!
What can I say? He's just an A-MAZING kid! Thanks Jakers for working so hard and making us so proud. We love you.

We're going to be starting scouting this year. I have been a bear leader before, but I am still nervous about making sure we doing everything the right way. I just hope Matthew's leaders will be able to handle everything...
