JT Earns His Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts

This was a big weekend for JT! Not only did he get his black belt, but he also earned his Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts.

The Arrow Of Light is the highest rank in Cub Scouting, and is the only badge of Cub Scouting rank that may be worn on the Boy Scout uniform.

To earn the Arrow of Light badge, a Cub Scout must earn the Webelos badge plus five additional Activity Badges from selected groups. The Webelos Scout must additionally satisfy five other requirements designed to prepare the boy for Boy Scouting. Webelos Scouts who aspire to this achievement have worked very hard to get here.

So, once again, we are very proud of JT!

JT Gets His Blackbelt!

JT has worked very hard for the past 1-1/2 years to earn his Black Belt in TaeKwonDo. He has shown a great passion for it since the beginning so we have tried to support him as much as we can. He is in class 3-4 times a week and thoroughly enjoys it. Sometimes I think Tim and I know as much about karate as he does since we sit in every single class watching him... Perhaps they should consider awarding honorary black belts to parents.

Mom and KD came to watch him perform with the Demo team and he was also asked along with just a few others to perform his form, weapon form and board breaking for the crowd. As always, he made us all very proud. As soon as I get it edited, I'll add the video of the demo team as well as some other great performances from other students and teachers.
