What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
For me Scouting and being an Eagle Scout means living your life by the Scout Oath and Law.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why?
I would say thankful that I was able to be a member of Scouts and achieve Eagle Scout.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
I think earning Eagle Scout taught me a lot about preparation for large events and working with deadlines.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people?
You need to be direct and clear when explaining directions and leading people.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
Get started early and don’t take several years off.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
My favorite Scouting memory was camping at Dyersville Sportsman Club. My first time going our troop was slightly smaller and we had fun exploring the grounds all day and naming certain landmarks. And especially we had fun on the merry-go-rounds because you’re never too old for one of those.
