His car did rea­son­ably well. I’m was a bit proud that when we put it on the scale at check-in it came in at exactly 5.0 ounces–the heav­i­est weight allowed–and ideal weight.

    Why would a Chris­t­ian be involved with a worldly orga­ni­za­tion?  Even going so far as to wear a US flag on their sleeve.  I’m sure I’m read­ing too much into this, but it seems a bit odd.

      Yes, you are read­ing too much into it. There are many rea­sons why cub scouts aren’t an ideal orga­ni­za­tion but for a home-schooled non-athletic eight year old in a semi-rural area it’s a rare oppor­tu­nity for social­iza­tion. Given the strong faith of the fam­ily, I doubt an arm patch is going to send him into the arms of worldly sin.
