What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means that I have achieved something only some can dream of, gaining friends closer than ever and having a strong moral compass.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Amazing. Since I’ve started Scouts, I’ve learned many skills and met many amazing people while just having fun the whole way.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank prepared me for the future because it made me more competent and stronger willed towards seeking my interests.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I learned that most people are willing to help and get work done, but there are always some that make it difficult to lead.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My advice is to make sure that you do your project and paperwork as soon as you are able because they take a while and if your paperwork is wrong…too bad!
Please share a favorite Scouting memory. My favorite memory is when we were at Klaus for the week, a few of us woke up in the middle of the night to one of our friends yelling “Ohh Kloser!!” because he got a bad charlie horse in his leg.
