What was to have been lived stream, unfortunately did not happen. An alternative method to record the ceremony did take place, but with a few gaps in the video. The recorded video may be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV7HDUmO9w_0yCnDm1NXdTeEwAZdgBYiz (Broken down into 3 parts).

Video snapshot photo presentation of the kids' scouting years is also included in the YouTube playlist:

Due to some technical issues yesterday, the court of honor itself was not able to be lived streamed. We did end up videotaping it (to the best of our ability). There are a few glitches in the video, but overall it got most of the ceremony.
