Last week my 7yo had his very first Pack Meeting for Cub Scouts!
He was very excited and he is really looking forward to all the activities and events, getting to know the boys in his den, earning his badges and learning new things.
He is growing up so fast, and it’s lovely to see him get so excited about something new. He’s not really a ‘team sports’ kind of kid, so I hope that Scouts will be somewhere that he can be part of a team, learn new skills and learn to work with others, make new friends and really enjoy himself.
It will be also be good one-on-one time for him and his dad, something that I think he would really benefit from. With three kids, it’s sometimes hard for the boys to get some time alone with me or their dad – and I know that they both love it when they do.
I’m actually quite jealous of some of the activities they will be doing, like staying over night in the Science Museum and on the USS Massachusetts!
My big boy!
I’m linking this post up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements over at Ethan’s Escapades. Please click on the badge below and share in the amazing achievements, and milestones, of our children. And, please join in and support this lovely linky!
I am also linking up with the wonderful Jaime at The Oliver’s Madhouse – why not hop on over and take a look at some other magical moments!
I think Scouts is such a great organisation, and it’s lovely that your boy will get to spend some time with dad because of it. I hope he gets a lot out of it.
Thank you. I’m really positive about it, I think it will be great for him.
Ohh how fab! The scouts are fab! My friends son goes and loves it! They get up to all sorts….It sounds so much fun x
He’s really excited about it!
Yes, it’s good to see them get excited about something. It sounds strange, but if they know what they like, you’re half way there. Having a passion and interests in life, whether you’re a child or adult, helps you in every way.
That’s so true, and it’s been tricky finding something for him (outside computer games!) – I’m feeling quite positive about this…
Aw doesn’t he look smart!
Thank you!
He looks really proud in his uniform and it sounds like he will be doing some amazing activities. Can’t wait to hear all about them and the badges he gains.
Thanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)

I am such a big fan here. All of mine have been through or going through the scout movement. I have total respect for all the leaders and all they provide for the boys.
I’m really excited for him, I think it will be a great experience. One that he will get a lot out of, learning important skills along the way.
