What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
Being an Eagle Scout means finishing a goal and being a part of a bigger picture than just myself.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why?
Experiences. Scouting has given me lots of unforgettable moments and opportunities that I’ve learned from and enjoyed.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
Earning the Eagle Scout rank prepared me for the future by giving me confidence and skills that will benefit me immensely in the future.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people?
I learned that organizing and executing a plan is very challenging, but if you plan and prepare, it can help you achieve a really intimidating task.

My advice is to surround yourself with people that will support you and don’t be afraid about being passionate about your goal.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
