What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means that I spent a lot of time learning about new things.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Fun. I had a lot of fun learning new things.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank prepared me for the future because I learned new skills that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I learned that you have to adapt to situations.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My advice is to get a lot of stuff done when you first join before you have other obligations.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory. My favorite memory is while completing my Eagle Scout project when we tried putting up the pole, we almost dropped it. When we finally got it in, we had to shake it to get the sand to set right. It was weird to see a flagpole moving like that.
