Almost Forgot To Mention...

So, last night was our Boy Scout Troop's Troop Court of Honor. They hold one three times a year for Scout advancement, and the one in June is typically reserved for welcoming new Scouts to the troop, giving them their Troop neckerchief and slide, and adding their name to the advancement trail. TheBoy is now an official Scout:

Later on in the Court of Honor, one of the Scouts was advancing to Life Scout. It's a big step, and involves earning three merit badges and attending a certain number of Troop events, etc. This Scout was asked what his favorite event was, and he mentioned the Camporee held last month - when pressed why that was his favorite, he responded immediately:

Because we got to shoot guns!

Yes. We are winning, even in Massachusetts.

That is all.
