About Me

Dear friends, We began this blog in the summer of 2012 when our family was called to step "out" of our "normal" life as we lived it in Carrollton Texas and serve for 3 months at Housesofhope.org orphanage in Zacapa, Guatemala. A simple blog for our friends and family to stay in touch during our short journey. Since that season we have decided we will use this as a means to continue to log our journey, share our stories and create a platform to champion what inspires us. We hope you enjoy and pray that you are encouraged into action and deeper reflection on family and faith.

My scouting life by James Anderson

I started scouting when i was 8 years old in 2008. I began in Cub Scouts in Troop 1121 in Carrollton Taxes, I did Cub Scouts for one year, Then I did the two year webelos program in one year to earn Arrow of Light. The Arrow of Light is the highest achievement you can earn in Cub Scouting. This allowed me to ''cross over'' to Boy Scouts with my brother-Wade so that we could begin our Scouting work at the same time.


This is "Arrow of Light" symbol and plaque.

I joined Boy Scout Troop 714 in Carrolton Texas in 2013.      <  http://btbfmedia.org/troop714/ >
My oldest brother Wil earned his Eagle rank from this troop so I am so excited to follow his foot steps. I have already earned the life Scout rank which is right under eagle rank which is the highest rank in Scouting. I have already completed my Eagle project in Guatemala. I built two picnic tables for a girls home called Oasis. I only need two more merit badges to complete all of my required badge work. I plan to participate in the Eagle Court of Honor in August with my brother.
