WACHINKSAPA

Dawson worked hard this last year to earn his arrow of light. He loved scouts, and I think that is directly related to the awesome and amazing leaders that we had! They were so great!

Our pack has a lady come and explain all of the colors of the feathers. Part of the ceremony is calling them with their Indian names. I worked with Dawson to choose something that I thought fit him. But of course this picky boy couldn't decide. Finally, he decided on Wachinksapa, which means wise. I think that this describes him as the old soul that he is.

Then the boys each have a pouch that you put something in meaning in it so that they can remember the things that are important as they journey through life as a boy scout and priesthood holder. It was quite emotional to see the leaders get choked up and start to cry. These boys are 'their boys.'

Kade, Teagan, Dawson, with 2 of the very best!

Boys, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments! Keep up the hard work and always remember who you are!
