Jon receives his beads

Wood Badge has become a pretty major event in our family's life. I went a couple years ago and then Jon was able to go last year. Both of us this year had the amazing opportunity to be on staff. The only hitch is you have to have earned your beads to be a staffer. Good thing Jon earned them the night before Wood Badge started! So this was his beading ceremony.

This is Matt Holtman who was Jon's troop guide and who Jon asked to bead him. Matt is a great guy and Jon really admires him. Here Matt was reciting an amazing poem. I couldn't believe he had it all memorized, it was long and wonderful!

Matt prepared the neckerchief before hand for the ceremony.

Then Matt put the new neckerchief and leather slide on.

Jon was beaming and was so proud of the accomplishment! And so was I!

What a great opportunity to mingle with great people!!
