What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout is an accomplishment like no other.

If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Trial. The path to being an Eagle Scout is a trial. And I have passed said trial.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank prepared me for the future because I will be able to get a job much more easily.

By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I learned that managing takes effort. You have to earn people’s trust.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My advice is to don’t expect an easy road. You will be challenged.

Please share a favorite Scouting memory. My favorite memories come from Camp Klaus in general. The place is special to me.
