What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means I am held to a higher standard. I also means that I have accomplished something that is highly valued.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? I think earning the rank of Eagle Scout prepared me by helping me learn how to finish things in my life. It will also help me because I can use my skills in life after Scouts.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My piece of advice would be don’t wait til you’re older to achieve the Eagle rank. Go after it while you are young so you achieve ranks and leadership positions while you’re young.

Please share a favorite Scouting memory. I would say my favorite memory would be hiking for two weeks in Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico with some of my best friends.
