What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you?
It means treating others with respect and doing anything in your power to make your community a better place.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future?
It sure taught me that real life brings lots of paperwork.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts?
Just work at it. If you have the willpower everything else will come easy.

Please share a favorite Scouting memory.
The time when I was kayaking, and it turned out that my kayak was filled entirely with ants, and I had to swamp the kayak to get rid of them.
