Today was a busy day.  We gathered at ADAMS at 9am and then headed to a neighborhood to collect the food bags that we had distributed past Saturday.  This was part of the "Scouting for Food" program.  After collecting the food the scouts helped drop of the food at one of the local churches.  It was a wonderful experience for our Scouts.

Next we headed to DC for a trip.  We decided to take metro.  Since it was 1st time riding the metro for some of the scouts they were really excited.  We went to see Jefferson Memorial.  We spent some time at the Mall where the scouts ate their lunch and  played some football.  Then we walked to Jefferson memorial.  The kids enjoyed their walk as well as the memorial.  One the way back we stopped for ice cream and then took metro to get back home.

This also completed achievement 4 for us.

Today was the family fun night at ADAMS Center as well.  The kids sang beautiful songs with Br. Abdul Rashid.  We also completed part of achivement 4 from the Bears handbook and the scouts decorated boxes for Scouting for Food.  We will complete Achievement 4 once we go to a trip to DC.

It was great having all the kids back for the 2008-2009 program.  It was wonderful to see all the kids.  Masha 'Allah all the kids are very enthusiastic.  All the leaders look forward to working with the great group of scouts and look forward to a great season.

We completed achivement 4 from the Bears handbook.  If you missed the meeting or part of the meeting and need help in making up the achievement please see one of the leaders.
