What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means being a better person and showing others how to do the same.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Daring. I did a lot of things that I originally was not comfortable with but at the end I had led my troop for 2 full years.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank prepared me for the future because it showed me once again how hard work can pay off.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I found that you should always have a backup plan.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My advice is to remember to keep up in your book.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory. My favorite memory is when I was on a high adventure to Glacier National Park my troop stayed at Teddy Roosevelt National Forest where I got to see a wide expanse of rock formations while standing on the edge of a ravine. It was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.
