Hello Cuties, My 5 year old grandson just watched Disney's movie Up and fell in love with Russel, the boy wildnerness scout. He likes to dress like the character while watching the movie and asked for a badge like Russel holds. So, good ole granny made him some, but not just a badge but the shash to put them on as well. I know his hair needs brushing but it's early morning yet...

What a precious memory for you both. His hair is and he is adorable!

Absolutely adorable, love that cheeky smile...and the labels are very nice too!

I love the movie too. Being a Scout like Russel means that he earns badges for learning and doing all kinds of things. Scouts learn to cook, read the stars, maps, or even a compass. They learn all kinds of sports, how mechanical things work. They learn about economics, genealogy, coin/stamp/bugs/leaf collecting. I think there are well more than 100 badges that a Scout can earn. You could expand on that with him as he wants to be like Russel. Learning and exploring are so rewarding. I was a Cub Scout Leader and worked with 5-10 year old's. It was the most rewarding time of my life.

Thank you, I did search 'cub scouts' to see what type of merit badges they earned..... Glad you enjoyed being a Cub Scout leader!!!!
