Personal Progress

One of the conditions we put upon our kids for driving is that the girls have to have their personal progress completed and the boys have to have their eagle scout.  Emma got hers done just in time and we are very proud of all the hard work she put in to complete the program.  This picture was taken at a program where she and other girls that were working on the program received awards.  Her friend and neighbor Eliza also earned hers.  She will now be working on her honor bee.  I thought it would be fun to document the projects she did and the value experiences that she wrote in (there are 3 pre selected experiences that are mandatory and then you do 3 more 2 of which can be ones that you design) The projects need to be at least 10 hours worth of work while the experiences can be any amount of time.
