What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout means that I am a teacher to the younger Scouts in my troop.
If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Determination. Few things in Scouts are easy. Many activities require hard work and a lot of time.
How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank has taught me how to organize and lead a small group to complete a task.
By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I learned that even a very difficult task can easily be completed with a determined group.
What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? My advice is that you should never take a break from your merit badges.
Please share a favorite Scouting memory. My favorite memory is one troop member showing up to a campout wearing a bright orange fedora with LED lights on it.
