Zachary's Varsity Letter

So, the requirements on the "Varsity Scout Letter Scorecard.
The correct requirements are:
Be a registered Varsity Scout team member.
While a team member, actively participate in or accomplish at least one high-adventure/sports pin to the satisfaction of the Varsity Scout Coach.
Have an attendance record at team meetings and activities of at least 75 percent for three consecutive months.
Satisfy the Varsity Scout Coach that you know and live by the Scout Oath and Law.
After you complete each Varsity Sport season or high-adventure program, you are eligible to wear an activity pin attached to your letter that represents your completion of that activity. You may also wear a gold bar on the letter to represent each additional letter you have earned.
Currently, the following activities are recognized in the Varsity Sports and "Ultimate Adventure" Program, and have pins available:
Backpacking
Freestyle Biking
Soccer
Basketball
Frontiersman
Softball
Bowling
Mechanics
Survival
Canoe Camping
Orienteering
Swimming
Caving
Rock Climbing and Rappelling
Tennis
Cross-Country Skiing
Triathalon
Cycling
Roller Hockey
Volleyball
Discovering Adventure
Shooting Sports
Waterskiing
Fishing
Snow Camping
Whitewater Canoeing
There are no specific requirements for the various pins. Basically, a Scout must earn the LETTER, then complete the sport or "ultimate adventure" to get the pin.
So this is Zachary's letter. Let's see what he did to earn this bad boy.
To get the letter Zach did a hike.
Here he is reviewing the trail. Nice mud puddle.
This is the night visitor that did not help with the letter.
A hard day fishing.
Now you know why he was looking at the path. Yep that is a lot of mud and we are biking.
You need to ask him about the mud ride and the swollen knee
Hold on Zach, I got the picture now you can climb up.
Go this will get the letter
So this is how you start a week of camp.
In all seriousness, Zach worked really hard to get this Varsity Letter. We are very proud that he has earned this award. We should congratulate him for a job well done!
