Arrow of Light Ceremony
Arrow of Light Ceremony
Troop 57 provided a memorable Arrow of Light recognition ceremony for 38 graduating Webelo Scouts, their families, friends, and fellow Cub Scouts. We would like to congratulate these young men on their accomplishment and welcome them into the brotherhood of Boy Scouting.
The following photgraphs provide a brief look behind the scenes at the preparation for the ceremony and a small peek at the ceremony itself. However, the only way to fully appreciate Troop 57's recognition ceremony is to attend one in person.

If a lot is good, then more must be better, right? |
 |
Always leave it better than you found it |
 |
Just think of them as really little fires on really little sticks |

I love it when a plan comes together |

Do you think this will be visible from space? |

Did someone call for fire? |

Is this arrow worthy of honor? |
