crossing over and his final goodbye to the pack.<\/p><\/div>\n

Preston is moving on from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.\u00a0 We had our final pack meeting where he received his Arrow of Light.\u00a0 This is quite a feat for him.\u00a0 His Grandpa Tiffany challenged him a year ago that if he not only got his arrow of light but also achieved all 20 activity pins that he would make him a special arrow of light plaque.\u00a0 At first, I was pretty sceptical that Preston could pass off all 20 pins. After all this is normally a two year program that our church crams into one. One of the pins was aquanaut which to pass off you need to have quite a lot of swimming skill.\u00a0 We had trouble even getting him to float on his back.\u00a0 Last summer we spent 2 weeks at Grandma and Grandpa Tiffany’s and by the end Preston was diving down to the bottom of their 8 foot deep pool.\u00a0 When we came back from their house he went swimming with his scout troop and he was jumping off the 10 ft diving board.\u00a0 This would have been unheard of just a few weeks before.\u00a0 Once he passed off this activity pin I knew that he could do all 20.\u00a0 With a lot of hard work he did it.\u00a0 His Grandpa was pretty upset that he couldn’t present the plaque at the Arrow of Light Ceremony.\u00a0 It would be nice to live near them but grandpa will get to present it to Preston in July when they come to visit.<\/p>\n
