He's Done!!!

Peter is now officially a Boy Scout; his Cub Scout Pack had their Blue and Gold banquet tonight, and he and two other boys crossed over to their respective Boy Scout Troops.

Peter chose Troop 39, which is also the troop at our church; he looked at a couple of others, but had friends in 39, and just really liked them.

Troop 39 was originally chartered through UNC, and so has strong ties there, hence the blue and white neckerchief. The Scoutmaster made a big deal about telling the boys that the neckerchiefs were only being loaned to them; they have to give them back when they leave the troop...unless they leave with the rank of Eagle!
