In some corners, the clouds rolled in; in others, the sun peeked gently through. Nonetheless, our Cubs came through. ๐ค
Some arrived with familiarity already worn upon their sleeves, while others found their way through the doors by chance, curiosity, or the promise of academic opportunities. Their reasons for joining the Council may vary. Perhaps some came seeking something they could not yet name. Perhaps others came despite uncertainty, hardship, and even at the expense of themselves. Yet, here they are.
And as their cheers rang through the halls, as they learned their place within this great, ever-growing chain of people, their seniors carried one hope in mind: that somewhere along the way, they would find whatever it is they came looking forโand once they found itโthat they would hold on to it until the very end.
Of course, no tale of new beginnings would be complete without a little mischief along the way. Humor found its way into the middle of their team-building, where our Cubs were divided into different colors, each one bringing its own shade of vibrancy to the room. Through laughter, challenges, and perhaps a little friendly chaos, camaraderie began to take root. And when the last cheers once rang true, perhaps we could rest a little easier.

And after us, they will carry the Council forward. ๐
