Scout Centennial Celebration

Bryan and Ethan went Saturday night to the Scout Centennial Celebration. Ethan was super excited because they were going to learn to make swords, shield, catapults, and how to sword fight and all kinds of other stuff. They didn't have enough leaders (we have a LOT of boy scouts) so Bryan was asked to go along.

They had a great time. While they were waiting to get into the celebration, they had a contest stacking rocks. They were divided into groups and then went and made a shield. Next, they learned strategy. Then they made their swords. When they were finished making their swords, they had dinner.

They had a raffle which, in order to enter, you had have accomplished 100 acts of service. Ethan worked hard to get this done (many were helping out with Courtney). Ethan actually won something! He won a skim board. He was pretty excited.

Then all the scouts had a sword battle (Ethan calls it a "war") where they used their swords, shields and battle strategy. He had a lot of fun with that. After the battle they had a huge program with singing and a video message from President Monson. Then there was a huge firework display.

They got home about 10 p.m. last night and they were pretty tired, but had had fun!

(Bryan bought me a couple of CDs from an a capella group that performed! Yeah!)
