Extreme Scout Expo

The Boy Scouts of America's Golden
Empire Council had their Extreme Scout
Expo this year again at Beale Air Force Base.
They usually have it every two years and this
year Parker and I were able to go.
We all camped out and they have a lot of fun
activities for the boys to do as well as stations where 
they get a chance to work on some of their
 and on Saturday night a big rally with music, 
guest speakers and a special guest, 
Astronaut Jose Hernandez.  It was a lot of fun.






Watching an Order of the Arrow ceremonial dance.









They had an extreme bike stunt team perform.
They did some amazing tricks.



Parker did really well on the flight simulator program.
He completed the mission without crashing.
He even impressed the veteran who was supervising.
 He thought Parker had done this kind of thing
before and was surprised when Parker told him he hadn't.






Always happy when holding a weapon.




Working on a requirement for his Craftsman badge.
He made a leather necklace.

  1. Wow Parker! Emily would be jealous of the astronaut visit. You are starting to sound like someone else I know (Uncle Josh), flight simulators, weapons, Boy Scouts. He was in the Order of the Arrow and an Eagle Scout. You are going to have to bring your parents up to Mountain Home to see the jets up close.

  2. That doesn't surprise me to hear how well Parker did with the simulator after sitting on your bed and watching him play some of his video games. He's awesome on those things. I'm always excited to see some of the things he's learning and experiencing.

  3. Figure out how to add more pictures. You were almost caught up and we need to see Christmas pictures.
