It is the tradition of the Cub Scouts to hold the December pack meeting at a nursing home with the primary intention of singing Christmas carols to the residents. For the last few years, we have been singing at a retirement home with a spacious activity room.
Quite a few residents rolled in to join us in song.It warmed my heart to see the residents and scouts interact. The audience tapped their feet and sang along while the scouts cheerfully belted out the lyrics.
It doesn’t really matter how well one sings, just that we do it.
When the caroling ended, the residents returned to their rooms and we finished our meeting. Bill, and the other den leaders, handed out awards and pins to the scouts. Their new pins are worn on ribbons on their sleeves which helps keeps them from getting lost.
Tonight another chapter of cub scouts closes for Mason since the Boy Scouts do other activities at Christmas. I’m glad it ended on a high note.
Mason seems to be catching up with Walker in height.
Hope the “high note” wasn’t a high C
