Both in DI and Scouts BSA

This year Max joined a Destination Imagination (DI) team as well.  This month, Max also joined Troop 805, a Boy Troop in Danville known for its great community.  I was going to say great program but my experience with Renee's Troop 126 and Max' Pack 996 tells me it is all about the community around the unit.
This is Max' DI group, Kinetics Kids.  They have a great coach.  This year, they won the competition in second place, and can go to the state competition.  It is very exciting!

I joined Max on the school field trip at the Black Hawk Museum.  It has a thought provoking display about how history is told from the perspective of Native Americans and Western Settlers.
This month, Renee went with Troop 126 on the Pioneering Camping event.  Besides practicing the normal cooking, camping, hiking skills, the scouts got to learn about pioneering tricks.
Max working on the card bridge for the DI team challenge project.
Max attending the Kungfu school's community event.  He is still working on weapons.  His fist forms are the best.
Renee joined Max at his Pack 996 bridging ceremony, where Max is welcomed to Troop 805.  Renee also welcomed a few girls from Pack 996 to Troop 126.
It has been over four years since Max started his Cub Scouts program.  Looking back, it is amazing how much he has grown.
With the weather still warm, Renee went with Troop 126 on a urban hike, where we hiked over Golden Gate Bridge.
