2nd Class

Here is a picture of my proud son, Joshua (age 11). He has just completed his second class board of review and is holding his new Second Class badge. It's like a pageant interview or job interview. He has to stand in front of a group of adult leaders and answer questions about Scouting and what he did to achieve the rank of second class. The ranks of Boy Scouts are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle. Josh has moved fairly quickly as a new Scout. He crossed over into Boy Scouts from Cub Scouts last January. He is working hard to catch up to his brother, Stephen, who is 16 and a Star Scout. Joshua felt the first aid requirement was the most difficult, but exciting part of the requirements for Second Class. I am so proud of him for achieving the rank of Second Class and for a very successful Board of Review. His character came through at his Board of Reveiw and one of the adults commented that he had the maturity of a 15 year old just in an 11 year old body. The future looks bright for this Scout!
