What does being an Eagle Scout mean to you? Being an Eagle Scout is a sign of effort, determination and growth that I made it to this point after all the challenges in my way.

If you had to describe your entire Scouting experience with just one word, what word would you choose? Why? Growth. I have been in Scouting since the first grade. Since then I have learned and grown a lot to become who I am.

How did earning the rank prepare you for the future? Earning the Eagle Scout rank guided me towards being responsible as well as educated and ready to take the next steps in life.

By doing your Eagle Service Project, what did you learn about managing or leading people? I learned how different it is, but that it is fulfilling as well as satisfying to get everyone together on one project.

What advice would you give to younger Scouts who aspire to become Eagle Scouts? I think it’s worth it and that if you really want it you shouldn’t give up. Hard work and a lot of communication can get you far. If you want Eagle Scout, then you can make it!

Please share a favorite Scouting memory. One of my favorite Scouting memories should be our trip to the Boundary Waters. The memories and fun that happened along the way I will keep with me forever.
