Kicking off both DI Teams!

This year we are very excited to have DI team for both Renee and Max!

This is such a great mother-daughter selfie!

Max and I joined our last camping trip with Pack 996. As the one of the most senior Cubs in the pack, Max joined the flag ceremony.

Max worked on his DI technical challenge at home.

Renee's team joined the IC day. Max was here too.

This remains our favorite park and they have learned new tricks with the familiar facility in the park.

Max sits at the top of this structure that they have been playing on for many years.

Here is Max' team at the IC day.

I still remember the days when I was teaching them how to use to swing.

Max joined the pack hike. This might just be the last hike with the pack.

We met up with Aunt Joyce for lunch at a local restaurant.

Renee was teaching their little friends how to eat the dish.

This is the group picture showing off how much they have grown.

Maturity

Instead of saying growing up, I am using "Maturity" this month because that is what these pictures show.

Renee's troop went on a 10-mile hike and climbed the Mission Peak. We also went to another 15-mile hike, which was way harder.

We stood in line for almost an hour in order to take this picture.

Max played big brother with Connor.

Renee and Max got interested this morning and cooked for us.

Scout Camp Month

June was the busy month for scouting: Cub Scouts Day Camp with Max and Scouts BSA Summer Camp with Renee.

After years of waiting, Renee finally got a chance to come to the archery range with me. Due to the rule change, she was not able to work on the range. But she still got to help outside the range and shoot during the break. This is Max' last year at Cub Scouts Day Camp, which is probably going to be my last year running the archery range for the Cub Scouts.

As the Scoutmaster, I went with Renee on the troop summer camp.

We were able to burn as much wood as we like and learned how to get a fire going.

On the last full day of the camp, I bribed them (because they need my signature to sign off the firem'n chit certificates) into making a troop sign to hang at the dining hall.

There was one weekend Max suddenly wanted to play mini golf, so we went to boomers. This time, we were keeping the score. It turned out that if we took better score from Renee and Max for each round, I can barely compete with them.

This is Max' Cub Scouts Den group picture during their last Pack picnic. It still felt not too long time ago when we signed up Max as a Tiger scout with me as their new Den Leader.

This is a great picture with Renee and Emily at the Cub Scout Day Camp. Renee is wearing the red staff shirt because they ran out of the yellow Junior Helper shirt.

Max sat with his Webelos scout to present Webelos neckerchief to the Bear scouts who are ranking up during the picnic.
