I recently went to the Boy Scout Council Building In Phoenix. It is actually quite nice. For my regular readers here is a quiz: What style is the building? 🙂
 The interior courtyard with a lovely fountain.
Another view of the courtyard.
The Boy Scout fleur de lys emblem set into the concrete walkway.
The gardeners were there pulling out the summer flowers and replacing them with fall plantings. I am sure this will be quite a lovely spot when they are finished.
Inside I climbed the staircase to the second level and marveled at the Spanish Colonial lighting.
The stained glass was quite lovely.
Tiger Cub Flag
So, why did I make a journey there? My sweet boy recently became a cub scout. A tiger cub specifically. The wonderful Mr. Decor, with his 12 hour work days and current quest to get his masters degree, is the den leader. I am right there alongside him as he often travels and I may need to lead sometimes. The first order of business we were told to accomplish was to create a den flag. I scoured the internet and came up with nothing. So, for those out there in the future who need to create a tiger cub flag here’s what I came up with:
Navy cotton twill fabric, orange, and white felt cut into various shapes and some time spent at the sewing machine. I decided to create “paws” that the boys could decorate and add their names to with navy fabric paint I purchased at Michael’s.
It’s not a masterpiece by any means, but the smile below made the time involved worthwhile. Were you ever a Scout? Laura

Laura,I love cub scouts. My son joined last February as a Wolf and now is a Bear. I just signed up to be a den mother/helper. I have met so many wonderful people in scouts. It’s been huge blessing for us. And the boys have so much fun. 🙂
What a beautiful place. I believe the style is Mission with Mediterranean throw in. Ciao
I love the architecture of that building, but I do not know what it is called. At least I don’t think I do. 🙂Excellent work with that banner, too!And I am so glad that you liked my book recommendations!
You did a great job with your flag!I can see you have one happy little boy there. I love the building. Such a pretty style.
I really enjoyed seeing the photos of this fine building. The details like the window are right on. It’s great when organizations have such distinguished quarters…must be nice for their members.How nice that your design for the banner provided personalization for the cubs.
Such a great idea. My oldest just turned 11 and moved up to Boy Scouts. I think I’m going to miss the little cub scout days. Your flag really did turn out so cute.I can’t believe how nice their building is!!! I’d want to walk around all day just looking at. I wouldn’t get anything done inside.*hugs*
Parent-Kid time is great, especially when you are making something together!
Beautiful building. I think they this Mission style. Looks like mediterranean thrown in. Ciao
well… i think the style is beautiful!!brocade? maybe? i am not good at things like that 🙂 but i like looking at them!!! ha ha!!!!your son is adorable! just like his Momma!
You are a GOOD mom! That flag is soooo cute. My brother was a boy scout growing up about a million years ago and that is the same building….cool! ~Liz~P.S. I am going to say the building is Spainish Colonial??? : )
Hi Laura!!!It really is very nice. I like the old buildings, I do agree to the colonial style but more luxurious. I let you greetings and nice weekendRealmente es un lugar muy lindo.Las construcciones antiguas me gustan,me hace acordar al estilo colonial pero mas lujoso.Te dejo un saludo y lindo fin de semana.
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for weighing in on my latest post. Everyone’s thoughts and opinions are very valuable to me.oxoxJennifer
Ooh the memories this brings back. My husband became an Eagle Scout at 15 and both my son’s went through the entire Scouting program. The oldest became an Eagle at 18. Just seeing your little guy in his uniform makes me fight back the tears. : ) I know you’ll enjoy the entire Scouting experience!!!M.L.
What a cute cub! I well remember the cub scout days of my own son. You have so much fun in store. Love the way the flag turned out!
