Packed with Heroes

The boys had their first pack meeting tonight. The theme was "Our Heroes" and the scouts were asked to dress as their favorite hero. Gus was inspired to be a soldier. Gus identifies quite well with that hero--dutiful, honorable, and strong. Beedle, on the other hand, chose Larry Boy from Veggie Tales as the hero he most identifies with. Like Larry Boy, Beedle is fun-loving, conflicted, and silly. I thought they did a great job of picking heroes that matched their personalities.
The Pack had a great survey of heroes. There were priests, geniuses, saints, football players and world leaders. Mr. Gregg's hero was his pet duck, Hiroshima. There was a lot of laughs and giggles as they played a few games and gave a few cheers.
As you can imagine, the boys did not want to take off their costumes. They preferred to stay heroes--even if it was for just one evening.
