The Bears received their rank badges on February 23, 2003 - Picture and got a few more arrow points in April - Picture
 
In May, 2003, our Bear den started working on Webelos advancement - Picture. We had our first den campout in May - Picture
 
We attended Webelos summer camp in July, 2003 - Picture and had thousands of mosquitos, a couple of thunderstorms, and one tornado. By surviving this campout, everything from here on will be EASY!
 
All scouts in the den earned Webelos rank badges on January 29th, 2004 - Picture. We had a meeting to choose a den name and emblem, and to create a yell and flag. We became the Caterpillar Crushing Cobras.
 
In August, 2004, we attended Webelos camp again. This time, we joined with a den from Monticello and found out that scouts all over the place play 'RuneScape' online. We called ourselves the Lama Clan for the weekend - Picture
 

 
On February 25, 2005, all 10 Webelos scouts crossed over to Troop 479 to continue their scouting experience as Boy Scouts - Picture. They were split into the Buffalo Bills and Roadrunners patrols along with some other scouts.
 
Over the next 18 months, some scouts dropped or moved away causing the patrols to merge into the Penguin patrol in September, 2006.
For a year, they continued on, advancing in ranks and growing in maturity and leadership skills. They were a patrol of 7 scouts, all of them doing very well and remaining active in scouting.
Then, the patrol of scouts a year younger than the Penguins requested a change. When they first started, there were only 4 scouts in their patrol. They were successful in recruiting 2 more, but they were just trying out scouting. In September of 2007, their patrol had 3 very active scouts left and they were struggling to feel like a patrol.
 
The Penguins accepted their request to merge patrols yet again and the Phoenix patrol was formed from scouts that had originally been in 4 different patrols - Picture.
These 10 scouts continued on together for the next 3 years as the core leaders of their troop - Picture - Picture. Finally, one new patrol member was added when he transferred from another troop - Picture. Over the past year, in 2011-2012, all of the original Tiger scouts have aged out, turning 18.
 
Of those original 5 Tiger Cubs, one dropped, one moved away and earned his Eagle with another troop, and three earned Eagle here. Of the 5 scouts that joined the den later, three dropped and two moved away.
 

 
Following are the badges and pins earned by each scout in our group...
