What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
To me it means having the ability and willingness to lead others in Scouting and in life. You must be an example of the Scout laws and oath and be prepared for life.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future
It will help be a sign of my accomplishments and help my chances for more gainful employment.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
Follow everything out until the end and don’t give up. Take the longer merit badges first and when you are on your project, just find a place to start and set thing into motion.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
When I went to Jamboree, I went up two days early to ensure that I got to go whitewater rafting. Just in those two days, I did more than the two weeks of Jamboree and it was a blast!
