New Eagle Scouts

[rodcraft]

A little over 2 years ago i took on the scoutmaster position. Here are the first boys to make eagle. My son Tim is on the right and looking to join the Army after graduation this year.

Good Job Dad and Scoutmaster!! In our troop, we had a long delay in getting the new crop to Eagle Scout. Our city mayor was on hand to congraluate them, since he was also an Eagle scout from our troop as well several years earlier.
My son got his Eagle scout several years ago before all of this Mid east madness and I really miss those days.

Great job dad. My son just made Eagle Scout last December. Having been a Cubmaster, assistant Scout Master, Merit Badge Counseler and still assisting for over 10 years, I can appreciate your efforts. Your son will always appeciate the time you have spent with him and showed leadership.
God Bless him on his stint in the Army.

Great job. You have alot to be proud of. When a young man earns Eagle rank, you know he will have "a leg up" on his future life. As an Eagle and the father of Eagles, the training and work to earn Eagle does benefit all concerned. As an employer, if I am choosing between applicants, the Eagle Scout will always get the job.

My dad was Scoutmaster for many years in our small town. I got my Eagle award about 50 years ago. My card had the signature of President Kennedy on it.

Congratulations rodcraft. Good job.

Congrats on your sons Eagle! I'm looking at my Eagle scout award right now. It's framed and sits on my computer desk. Oct 18, 1973, signed by Richard Nixon.

An impressive achievement!

Congratulations

Obligated to pass those values to other young citizens for the rest of their lives. He will be astonished at the the number of fellow Americans who have no sense of duty to Country, Honor, God-I'm 59 and it is still a puzzle. But the Scouts help hold the shield wall. Be prepared and do something kind at every opportunity.

Thanks for all your help. I'm a few years behind you with a Cub Scout and an almost-Cub Scout. I don't think my son's Den Leader isn't very good, but I don't see anybody volunteering to replace me.

Congratulations to your son, and you. Earning the Eagle is not easy, and getting there teaches a great deal.

I am an adult volunteer. Have been an assistant scoutmaster, troop committee chair, council governing board member, District chair, and Philmont trek advisor. Attending Eagle Courts of Honor is one of my favorite things.

For those of you who used to be Scouts and read Boys Life, BSA still awards Heroism medals. One of my best memories in Scouting as as District Chairman pinning a heroism award on a new Eagle Scout immediately following his Eagle Court of Honor. Heroism awards are made in the name of the Boy Scouts of America at the national level, and convening a Court of Honor to do so is inspiring.

The first heroism award ceremony I attended was for a Cub Scout who saved a young child from drowning, at risk of his own life.

Scouting has a real and immediate impact on boys. When you look at the achievements of Eagle Scouts as adults, the long term value of this impact is immeasurable.

Congratulations, to you and the young men.

Of the successful people I've known, one of the characteristics shared by the majority of them was that they were Eagle Scouts.

It would be neat to be able to come back in 50 years and see how far these lads have gone. I'll bet it will be quite far.

Congratulations to you and your son from an old eagle scout

 

[28Shooter]

Congratulations and Well Done!

 

[wbraswell]

Congratulations to you and your son. Few things make me prouder than seeing boys and girls in their scout uniforms. To be an Eagle is a great honor and acheivment that will be with him all his life. As a former scout who never got past Life, I envy him, and respect him.

Just got back from my cousins Eagle court of honor today. Congrats to your son and the other two boys from an Eagle Scout.

Got mine on 4/20/2005 signed by President Bush

Eagle Scouts.......the leaders of tomorrow

rodcraft,

Good on ya! You have made a contribution to the future of the United States. Thank you for your part in developing those young men. My Scout Master probably kept me out of reform school as a young man growing up in a single Mother household in the late 1950s/early 1960s. I got my Eagle Award in February 1962, certificate also signed by President John F. Kennedy. My Son received his Eagle Award in 1985 in the Far East Council while we were assigned to Okinawa, Japan. His is signed by President Ronald Reagan.

While in college, my Son was hired for an Engineer in Training summer internship with a national/international construction corp, on the spot, when the interviewer discovered he was an Eagle. My Grandson is on his way. He is a Bear Cub Scout, just turned 10 so he can advance to the Weblos. He can hardly wait until he is a full fledged Boy Scout.

Congratulations! One of the few serious regrets I have was dropping out of scouting to take a job at age 14. At the time I was a life scout fast tracking to Eagle. Looking back, the job could have waited (I guess), and not completing the journey still haunts me.

Son just passed his Eagle Board of Review

Yesterday, my son just got the final ok on his Eagle project, and completed his Eagle Board of Review. He passed, thank God! I am still up because: 1.) I can't believe it's over 2.) I think I am more excited than him (I only went as far as Webelos) 3.) I am so proud of him, I had a huge concern that he would quit or not finish the program when I was deployed to Iraq from 2003 to 2005, but he kept at it. We made it with a week to spare before he turns 18! It's been quite a ride and I am a little sad to see it end. It's an awesome thing to see your son become a man over the years. I think it's great to see your kids accomplish greater things than you did; I want them to keep moving ahead. Godspeed to him in the future, I do love my boy. I know he's building a skill set that will allow him to succeed in the future--and the Eagle program has been a major part of it.
