What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means living by the virtues expressed in the Scout Oath and Law and being a living example of these virtues not only for younger Scouts, but for everyone I meet.
How did earning the Eagle Scout rank prepare you for the future? The skills and lessons I have learned along the way to Eagle will impact my daily life as long as I live. The leadership and communication skills I have learned will be tools to aid me in college and beyond.
What surprised you about the Eagle Scout path? I was surprised by the amount of support from those around me in pursing this rank. From my parents, to friends, to members of my community, the support shown for a Scout on the path to Eagle was surprising to me, in a good way.
