Matt Greer, 9, battles fellow Cub Scout Cameron Olesen, also 9, in a mock sword fight during Cub Scout Day Camp at the N.C. State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. More than 173 Wake County scouts spent the first of their five days at the camp learning archery and woodworking, building bottle rockets, fishing and learning to tie knots. "We focus on character development, teamwork, sharing, and good clean fun," said Camp Director Larry Chapman.

"No Ordinary Day" is a visual diary of the events, both large and small, that serve as milestones in people's lives. It debuted on March 24, 2002 and concluded on Aug. 29, 2007. We hope you continue to enjoy looking at our archive of “No Ordinary Day” images.

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
