I just love a good Court of Honor. The presentation of the colors, lighting the red, white, and blue candles for the Scout Oath, and lighting the 12 candles for each point of the Scout Law. Last night, each Scout read what each point meant and it went over great.We also had our Camp Promotion and O.A. Election. We'll have to wait for the Tap Out to see if Joe Potter and Devin Porter were elected.
We had a big crowd too, as 18 of 19 Scouts and their folks were in attendance. It made me think about our logs that we use as candle holders. They have been a part of this group as far back as Cub Scouts. They have seen a whole bunch of candle wax and one even caught fire last year.
The candles really help to remind us of what Scouting is all about. When the candles are new, it takes a little extra effort to light, but once they get lit, they burn bright!
