February 6 & 7, 2010

It's finally here, the start of Scout Week 2010.  Saturday morning I was in Sycamore District helping with the Tiger Time event.  This is a great activity just for Tigers and their adult partners.  They have a variety of activities and a picnic lunch.  I enjoy this one a lot, this is the 12th year I've helped with the activity.

After Tiger Time I made my way to Machnesy Park for the lighting of the Wanchanagi District Continuous Fire.  The fire is a tradition in the area being lit the Saturday at the beginning of Scout Week and burning until the Saturday at the end of Scout Week.  All the local troops take turns maintaining the fire.

On Scout Sunday I attended the awards ceremony in Rockford for the Catholic scouts that had earned their religious award.  It was held at The Cathedral of St. Peter and presided over by Bishop Doran.
