What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
Being an Eagle Scout means reaching the highest rank in Scouting ending one chapter in life and beginning another.

If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why?
Growth. My whole experience led me to grow as a person.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
Earning the Eagle rank gave me experience for my future career and life experience.

By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people?
Although it seems easy, leading people isn’t just telling them what to do.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
My advice is at points you may feel like giving up, but keep going, it’s worth it.

Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
Going on a trip to Devil’s Lake and climbing rocks on the hill to only discover it was a dead end and having to figure out another way to go and finally seeing the view at the top.
