Last week we found out that our den would be the Color Guard at the next Pack meeting. None of our boys have ever been on Color Guard, so we took the flags and divided the boys into 2 teams. I went off the boys sizes so that we had the same amount of bigger boys and smaller boys on each team. I found one team was very serious about their job and one team was playing around. The serious team was rewarded by being allowed to carry the American Flag during our next Pack meeting. The team that will be carrying the Pack flag got serious after that. Sometimes the honor of doing, or in this case not doing, is enough to make a difference with 8 year old boys.
Color Guard... Practice before the Pack meeting!
