What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
Being an Eagle Scout means that you are a leader and a role model. With the skills learned, you have the tools to become successful in everything you do.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
Earning the rank of Eagle has prepared me to take on any obstacle or problem that arises and gets in your path to greatness.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
My advice would be to not give up and never let anyone tell you that you can’t finish your project. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, as long as you complete it and learn from it.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
My favorite Scouting memory is from 2019 at Camp C.S. Klaus. I was working as the ecology instructor. After camp was over, I got my pet corn snake, her name is Maize and she started my love for the environment and the outdoors.
