Stake Recognition Awards

Tuesday night was Stake Recognition for our ward. Tyler didn't act as if he wanted to go but, we knew something he didn't. He was getting an award. There are three different categories and only 1 scout from each ward is chosen. So a total of 3 scouts for our ward received awards and Tyler was one of those. When they called his name he was not paying attention as usual and didn't even hear them call his name. All his friends that were sitting around him started pushing him up there. He still doesn't know which award he received. I wish I would have had it on camera. It really surprised him. I was very excited for him to receive the award. They gave each of the boys a coin that has the boy scout motto on one side and the saying "You can make a difference" on the other. It is supposed to help them remember what they have done and continue doing good. He was nominated by a very sweet letter telling of his accomplishments on the 50 mile hike and sleeping outdoors under the stars on the Klondike with 2 other fellow boy scouts. I am so proud of him. Way to go Tyler!
