Last Tuesday Linda, Joshua and I went to Edmond, Ok to
participate in the Troop 79 Court of Honor. The reason is that 18 months ago I
participated in an adult training program called Woodbadge . Woodbadge is an 8 day training seminar that
is some of the most intense training I have ever taken in civilian life. After the training you are given the rest of
your time to accomplish 5 Tickets. A ticket is a project you must complete to
qualify as fully trained. After all five tickets are complete then you receive
your final award which is called a beading. (It is called a beading because that
is exactly what they give you is two wooden beads on a strap of leather.) That
is the quick rundown on Woodbadge.
So Tuesday I was awarded my beads with three other members
of my Woodbadge patrol (the Owls) and two other Woodbadgers from other patrols. It was a special night with Linda and Joshua
helping in the ceremony.
This is a picute of Jim Martin, Rebecca Koss, and myself. Rebbecca was my Patroll Guide and Jim was the Course Director
Later that week Linda and I had the honor of participating
in the district Cuboree as the King and Queen of their medieval themed weekend.
Danielle Cox put on a great adventure for our younger Scouts and it was great
to play a small roll.
We will be
awaiting the next call.
