What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means doing what needs to be done and going beyond.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? It had me push through a time where I wasn’t pushing to do anything at all and made me get out of a bad rut.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? Don’t take too much time at each rank, but don’t forget to have fun along the way.
