Double posting because the Boy Scout Court of Honor was tonight. My son finally received his First Class which he had completed back in July but the paperwork was lost so he didn't actually receive it until tonight. He has one requirement left to qualify for his Scoutmaster conference and BOR for Star and that is doing CPR on a dummy. He did the whole First Aid badge at summer camp last year but they didn't have a dummy for them to demonstrate CPR with. Thankfully, the local fire station will do it for free with the Boy Scouts so my ex-husband is going to take him up there so he can finish up Star. Life will take him a while because he's slowing down significantly. However, he just turned 13 in March so he has time. He was getting kind of burned out from doing Tenderfoot-Star pretty much in 18 months time. If he wants to take a year to finish Life and another year or two for Eagle, I think that will be a fine pace for him. Besides, he left the tough ones for last.. the three Citizenships and Personal Fitness are sitting there waiting for him. He still needs Family Life, but that one shouldn't be too bad. He has one thing left to do for Camping of the list of physical things they need to do. He has canoed but needs to hike or rapel or snowshoe, etc. He's done everything else for camping. So, he basically needs to do 5 of the Eagle required still. He has 4 or 5 other merit badges so far. He's on a good pace, I think!
