Zack is a Scout graduate

Zack finished his first 'season' as a cub scout. He was a bear and has graduated to a Webelo. He's done a lot this year and I think, if nothing else, he's bonded with some other boys - in the picture, that's andrew on the left and brandon on the right...
This was at the graduation ceremony at Lake Needwood, just a short drive from home (yup. the woods are that close)
This ceremony almost didn't happen - big thunder and lightning storm about an hour before the ceremony. But summer storms on the East Coast can pass quickly. And while it was pretty muddy at the lake, it was still a nice event.
