Boy Scout – 2nd Class

Jake entered Boy Scouts last June when he turned eleven. Having your dad as the Scoutmaster gives you “extra” motivation to get your requirements done and merit badges completed quicker than normal.

Jake got his Tenderfoot rank back in December and as of yesterday he received his rank advancement to Second Class. He has been working hard and has completed 12 merit badges so far and is on target to be First Class and have 18 merit badges by his 12th birthday. We know how much work this takes and we are so proud of him for making this a priority with all the other stuff he has going on in his busy life! Way to go Jake!

Here is Jake explaining what he had to do to get his Second Class.

Here I am receiving my “mother’s pin” for all my efforts in helping him. 🙂
