After receiving his award, he got to pin his mom.
Here are some other gems from the meeting:
Flag Ceremony
The Bear Den was in charge of the flag ceremony. The Cub who was MCing the event was a bit timid. when the boys brought the flag in, no one heard him ask the audience to stand, so Tate hollered out "Everybody stand up! Put your hands over your hearts... unless you are wearing a uniform. Then you do this (did the Cub Scout Salute.)"
Recycling And Death
The theme for the evening was "Litter to Glitter" with an emphasis on cleaning up and recycling. The Cubmaster told a story about Walt Disney's early days at Disney Land. He wanted a wonderful and clean place for people to enjoy the Magic Kingdom. One of his rules for employees was to pick up any piece of trash they came upon. "But he's dead! Walt Disney is dead!" yelled Tate. The Cubmaster acknowledged this fact and continued with the story. "But he's dead!" Tate repeated. That went on for a while. Everyone got a kick out of Tate's focus on the temporal nature of our stay on Earth.

Ha! I just got called to be a cub scouts leader in charge of the Bears! :) Should be interesting! I go to our first pack meeting this week . . .
G- you'll do great! Dope 'em up on some Cincinnati chili if you can't think of anything else. That'll keep the boys busy! Can't think of a cooler place than Manhattan to be a Cub Scout leader, what an opportunity!
ok...so, first of all I love your blog, and I'm very excited you guys have one...especially since we'll be moving. It's such a great way to keep in touch. Secondly...You totally could have cropped me and my prego belly out of that photo. I'll forgive you though. That was such a funny night. WE really miss Tate at Den meeting.
