This year’s last Tortie Scouts badge is Archaeology! I love digging! My favorite thing to unearth is, of course, noms. But after that, I like meeting my ancient ancestors. I wish I could grow as big as Carbonemys cofrinii! I didn’t find Carbonemys, but I did find these two ancient tortles. (Anything older than me is ancient!) Rock turtle was very nice, but I couldn’t stop staring at the shiny gold tortoise!

Murphy Abrams thought what better way to learn about how to train a
dragon than to watch Game of Thrones. Murphy wishes to be the brother of
dragons.4)
Learning to ride dragons is fun! Rawr!
❤️Pickles da p’let5)
Batman totally knows how to tame a dragon. Here we see a true Mother of Dragons.6)
Turns out dragon training might not be Kirabi’s strong suit so instead
the dragon seems to tame her. Or maybe she’s just playing along and
planning something sneaky.7)
Moses believes all creatures should exist on equal terms so he rather
takes a nap with a dragon instead of trying to tame it and force it into
submission.
These dragon trainers are on point!

This week’s Tortie Scouts badge is robotics! Are you planning to build a robot to replace your humom who can’t post your important stuff to the internet on time? Then I want to see it! Send your pics to wafflestort@gmail.com
Zoya decided the best way to earn her Astronomy Tortie Scout badge was to talk to some moons and stars directly. Good thing Galaxy turtle lives on humom’s bed! So after climbing up and over and through mount blanket, Galaxy turtle told Zoya she’d find ALL the answers to ruling the universe in her dreams. Not needing to be told twice, Zoya crawled right under Galaxy Turtle for a long nap. For science.
Today I asked her what she dreamed about and she told me: “Dandelions and @wafflesworld “
Tortie Scouts love star gazing. that’s because they know one day they will rule the universe!

Mango took Torty out to to teach him about constellations. Torty said he found the Big Dipper. Mango didn’t have the heart to tell him the truth.2)
Lucky is too scared to go outside so he likes to imagine the stars through Trek
3)
Chippy is sure he can make it on Mars. He’s already learned how to grow a potato with his own poo!4)
LD has been getting space lessons from Frank. Frank says we’re all doomed. Dude asks Frank if there are worms on his planet.
5)
I can’t see the stars because of this darn tornado!!!

The guys are checking in. Today they have been learning about the Moon
and how binoculars help you see further. Tonight they will be testing
their new skills in the field. I’m not sure if they’ve spotted the UFO
though!Adam&Claude
7)
With my telescope, I can get a really good view of my favourite
stars. Well, that was until I got the letter from Brad Pitt’s
lawyer….

As he gazed in wonder
at the stars this week, and being the wise tort that he is, Tubby took the sensible
precaution of wearing his tinfoil hat to stop any pesky extra-terrestrials from
reading his mind.9) Welcome to Astronomy 101. I am
your teacher and Mr. Nikki and we will learn about stars and planets in
this class. That is our telescope and we will take turns looking for
different planets.10)
Twilight Turtle teaches me all about the constellations in our night sky, with bonus shell snuggles!Kirby
Entomology is the study of our insect friends. Some of us like to watch bugs, others, like Torty and Blue, prefer to admire their tastiness. These Tortie Scouts are showing us how they appreciate insects. (page 2)
1) Piperdog here & I love to chase bugs. Here’s one of me stalking this katydid after mom brought him down from the side of the house for our photo opt. I really enjoy lightening bugs at night! It’s so hot in Arkansas, I didn’t get to stay out long.
2) As a house cat, Lucky likes to study bees. He has gotten so good at it he has figured out how to order honey online.
3) Chippy is only 2 years old and has had a rough life. He hates being watched but he loves to watch out for bugs.
4) Little Dude is an expert on bugs. He loves every bug that exists and carries his bug menu everywhere!
5) My assignment was to learn about bugs, but I am a city turtle, more a “read about it” reptile than a “get down and dirty” type guy, but Mom really wanted to help me get my credit, sooooo…
..she took me outside, and I sniffed a beetle, and I didn’t really like it. Then she suggested we go inside for a warm bubble bath and shell detailing (with a toothbrush, which I LOVE!), and you’ll notice my shell has flowers AND EVEN A BUTTERFLY! A butterfly is an insect, isn’t it?! And now, if you’re sure your sitting down,notice my VERY FIRST TEMPORARY TORTUGA TATTOO of…
…you guessed it, a 🐞! That’s an insect, too!
XO, Poof6) After having little success on his insect hunt Tubby began to doubt how accurately the insects in “a bug’s life” were portrayed…
7) Zoya spent lots of time studying the butterflies in the garden. She learned many things like: the orange and green one likes dandelions and fluttering over the neighbors bbq for fun, the white one spends most days messing with the fur beast that lives behind us. He’s a white pup so she tries to blend in with his fur. Butterflies are nice but super chatty so might want to avoid them if you’re hoping to nap!
Entomology badge achieved! #TortieScouts are the MOST fun part of the summer.
Welcome to the third annual Tortie Scouts!! For those who are new to Tortie Scouts, all shell, scale, fur and feather beasts are allowed to participate. Each Sunday for the next 6 weeks I will post a badge that Tortie Scouts can try to earn. Tortie Scouts have until Saturday of that week to send me a picture of them earning their badge. On Sunday I post the photos of each Scout and a certificate of completion will be emailed too. To see our previous badges, just look in my albums to see all my proud Tortie Scouts and their pictures.
Our first badge is Entomology! Entomology is the study of our insect friends. Some of us like to watch bugs, others, like Torty and Blue, prefer to admire their tastiness. Send me a picture of how you appreciate insects to wafflestort@gmail.com by Saturday to earn your badge!
Woohoo! Let’s get our bugs on!
Troops! It’s almost time to gather!
July 9, 2017
YOU GUYS! It’s almost time for another year of TORTIE SCOUTS!! The BEST part of the summer. Be sure to follow @wafflesworld to stay up to date on each week’s badges!
The end is near and these Tortie Scouts know how to get the job done! Post 1/3
1) Herman, being a practical tort, is working on mind control to get
humoms to do all the heavy lifting. And gathering of noms. Overlords
don’t gather their own food.2) World Domination begins at home starting with the Dogloo and compost
bin. Next, Whole Foods and PetSmart. Blue tag on my shell says “Join
or Die.”3) For the Tortpocalypse
I have been watching many documentaries on the behavior of cats. Cats
are complete morons. Or at least the one that lives here is. In less
than a week I’ve learned how to take over his mind and control his
stubby furry legs. Apparently, most of his brain had space for rent so
it wasn’t hard to control. With this power we can use Lucky to do our
bidding and also take the blame for everything we want. So, while he’s
getting a tongue lashing of “Bad Kitty” from the derpy humans we’ll be
living it up with all the stuff he swiped from the tall counter for us!
World Domination has never been easier!!
-Little Dude4) All Dover’s friends thinks it’s a cute idea to send him other torts for
birthday and Christmas gifts, but really they’re just helping him gather
his minions. He’ll just be waiting here with them…until the time is
right.5) For the Tortpocalypse I’m perfecting my sneaky ninja-hunter skills and
my super-bite attack. The human’s will never know what hit (or bit)
them! – Kirabi6)Good afternoon Scout master Waffles.This is the moment we have prepared for all summer! By
being so kind, cute and helpful no one saw it coming, the elders I
helped even gave me some tips on ambushing!
I have already taken over the back yard and am currently working on taking over the whole house! What next chief?
Lord Rafael Tortington Esquire.7,8,& 9) Munch and his friends have stockpiled food and are carefully guarding
their freeze-dried mealworms. They have rounded up and enslaved cats and
dogs who will become Tortie minions. And they have assembled weapons
and artillery. The world will soon be under Tortie power!
We are gonna be submitting our WORLD DOMINATION tortie badge pics (and the others we missed) ASAP. TORTIE SCOUTS FTW!! We are even more skilled now, be afraid!
