    Oldest son just had his review for Eagle Scout!

    He passed! Have to wait for his paperwork to come back from national before we can get him any goodies, but as of today, my boy is a Brotherhood and Eagle Scout. 14 years old, and worked his tail off for it. My 12 year old is a Life Scout, and got his sash this past weekend. Papas very proud of his boyos.

    Well done to the young men. Eagle and Vigil myself. All 5 of my brothers are Eagles too, and 4 of them are Vigil.

    Tell him the hard part is coming. Having to live up to the standard he set for himself! Proud of both him and his parents both worked to get to this. A proud Eagle too Clint

    Good for him. You do not see as many kids doing scouts as when I was younger. I am sure you are a proud papa

    That is an honor earned by few. It's a tribute to the dedication of the Scout and the parents.

    Congratulations to him. An honor that can never be taken away from him. I was surprised in the military with the number of Eagle Scouts I ran into. Especially in the officer corps. It's good training and in the long run will come out as he enters the adult world in the form of leadship. Being an Eagle Scout myself and the father of two Eagle Scouts, I know the work and support provided by you and your spouse as well. I congratulate you both as well as him on a job well done./beagle

    Congratulations to your young man!
    That's quite an accomplishment.
    The son of a coworker is almost done with the process and there's a lot to it.

    I made Eagle at 14, with palm, brother hood OA. I consider it to be one of the most significant events of my life. It taught me morals, values, and traditions, that will never leave me. Like being a Marine, there are no former Eagle Scouts. It is good to know that people like Beagle & Cowboy Dan, and I have this in common! I also ran into a fair number of Eagles in two branches of service.

    Congrads to him, and yes to you also. My oldest stepson just got his at 14 and all the work and effort involved is overwhelming. This will stick with him for the rest of his life. Glad you were a part of it.

    In all honesty, the wife unit was able to put in a LOT more time than I did.

    Good for him, had 2 nephews get theirs. I know your son worked hard for it but let's not forget your work as well. They should have an eagle scout dad's badge as well.

    Does "Barry" sign the papers now? I know he didn`t when he first got into office. The only sitting Prez that wouldn`t sign Eagle Scout`s papers, all precedeing Presidents signed these papers.Robert
