Scouting continues for both W and J.
W and I went on an ocean kayaking trip in the middle of last month. During our time on the ocean, W chose to kayak with a friend (center background, above), so I kayaked with a scout whose dad didn’t come on the trip.
We’ve also joined the cycling merit badge group on their Sunday morning rides. W already earned the merit badge last year, so we’re riding just for fun. Today, we took a path that resulted in two flat tires among our group — probably sharp thorns dropped on the path. We also determined that W has outgrown his current bike, so we’ll be buying him a new one ASAP.
J’s Webelos den did nothing last year, so their den and the younger Webelos have been joined for activities this year. Hopefully, J will earn the Arrow of Light before ending his Cub Scout career.

W is applying to high schools this year. It’s been worrying. What schools should he choose for his applications? And what’s the schedule for getting in paperwork, ISEE and HSPT testing, and so on?

I’m still doing ground support electronics software on Solar Probe.
