Last night as a full moon rose and a dying sun fell behind the Sangre De Christo’s, Calvin Danner Hampton made his “Crossing Over”.
This “Crossing” was on a narrow footbridge spanning the tiny but fast Rayado River on the Philmont Scout Ranch. Our Calvin, along with his fellow “Cubs” had received their Arrow of Light Awards earlier in the evening.
When they stepped foot on this bridge made of telephone poles & 2×12’s they were Cub Scouts. As they joined their peers, leaders & families waiting on the other side, these lads had made the “Cross-Over” and fulfilled the requirements and earned the honor to be called Boy Scouts!
Congratulations Calvin Danner Hampton. Next thing you know, you’ll be an Eagle Scout! Hope to see you and Ethan in Enid next month when your dad sings at Cowboy Church.
Sooooooo proud of you Danner!!!!!!!!!! Wish we could have been there Hugs and Blessings Aunt B & Uncle Bob
What a great tradition! I was a Boy Scout in my youth and have fond memories and pride from that time. God bless you, Calvin, as you build memories that will last you a lifetime.
