What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
Being able to accomplish something that not everyone does.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
It taught me how to be a hard worker, a leader, and an organized person. These are just a few of the amazing skills that I gained through Scouting but I truly believe those will help me to strive in life.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
Enjoy every moment that you have left of Scouting because before you know it, it’ll be over. But make sure you’re also organized so you don’t fall too far behind, so you’ll be able to achieve your goals.
