Arrow of Light

Jonah and Mason received their Arrow of Light in June. (Our Troop does the ceremony every 4-6 months to group some of the boys together) They had completed all the requirements before their 11th birthday in April. They went above and beyond (mostly because their mom was pushing them) and received all 20 achievements for their Webelos advancement.

About a year prior, on our way to Tucson, AZ, we stopped by a little stand to get some Indian Fry bread. The Native Americans who owned the stand where selling some hand made items. They boys saw these arrows and immediately wanted them. I didn't have cash at the time for the arrows so I didn't purchase them. Mason kept asking about when we could get these arrows from this little stand outside of Flagstaff, AZ. I didn't know when we would be going that way again, but on a trip that my parents took to visit my sister, they so kindly stopped by the stand and purchased the arrows for me. The boys had no idea until the arrows were presented to them at this ceremony. It was a great surprise.

We are very proud of the boys for working so hard to earn this award.
