Last  night  was  my   birthday,  well  not  my  original  birthday,   it  was  my  scout birthday.  A  scout   birthday  is  when  you are 2-4 months away from  bridging over from  cubscout to boyscout .   For my present, I got to play a game and eat a snack.  I also got to make a fire with the older boy scouts, although I did want to go with the younger ones since I knew alot of them.  The game was that the first one to burn a rope to the top won.  We had to use the earth's elements and only 2 matches.  The other team won because they used pinestraw.  The younger team didn't even start their fire until the other team won.  Our team took second place. 

I will bridge in January.  Until then, I have to get my Arrow of Light award.  I have to get one more pin, the Outdoorsman.  I also have to go camping with the boy scouts one time.
