What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means being true to the Scout Law, Oath, Motto, and all Scouting values in daily life.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Experience. Being in Scouting means you get to experience everything in life and how to prepare for life.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? It prepared me for being a leader and being prepared for life and the future in the world.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? Managing and leading people can be difficult but you must learn to overcome challenges within your group to keep leadership.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? Have fun, don’t focus on only seeking Eagle Scout, explore other areas of Scouting like high adventure, and non-Eagle required merit badges.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory. A favorite memory of mine is hiking around at my last summer camp, exploring and competing in camp games and challenges.
