Scout Sunday {& Baptism Anniversary}

11 years ago today, Peter was born again in the waters of baptism and set free from original sin!

Today Peter received his Parvuli Dei award, as did his good friend and Webelos den mate, Jonah.

Parvuli Dei was not an easy program for Peter to complete, primarily due to the volume of writing required.
From start to finish, it took him about a year and a half; he persevered and completed the work.
The medal was awarded today, and he will receive the religious knot at his very last Cub Scout pack meeting tomorrow.

Then he's off to Boy Scouts... and work on Tenderfoot Rank will begin in earnest!
