Hope it's OK to brag. New Eagle Scout

[TCoggins]

Like the title says. I hope it's OK to brag a bit. My son became an Eagle Scout last night. He's been a scout since second grade, and really took a shine to it. He rarely missed a scouting event, and loves camping with the crew. A couple years ago he went to Philmont Scout Ranch out in New Mexico for a 70 mile backpacking excursion.

His mom and I are very proud of his achievement, and can't help ourselves from bragging. Sorry.

I would be very proud also. If he was interested in ham radio, he can get a 'badge' for that too. I helped at a testing where a youngster did that.

WELL DONE DAD and MOM, it takes the entire family

I KNOW you are Proud! My son was three merit badges away from starting the final journey to Eagle Scout. Just lost interest. Was oldest in troop and I think was not supported enough from troop leadership. I know 99% is the scout but they do need the support from the leadership.
On to you: you need to also give yourself a pat on the back, because you were also a big supporter of him and helped on this achievement. I am proud to hear that your son has achieved that rank and title. It is something he will carry through his whole life.

You have every right to be proud. The work and dedication it takes is admirable. I don't recall ever hearing any bad things about ANY kid that was an Eagle scout.

Congratulations! You have a right to be proud! It takes support from many different directions, including family.

It would be wrong not to brag about a great achievement like this. Sounds like you have a great son and you are a great father.

[Smoke4320]

That's a great accomplishment .. dedication from him and you/wife having to drive him to all the meeting ect

Congratulations to your family!

Something that will never be forgotten,I am close to 75 and still remember things that were taught to me while in the scouts.I didn't apply myself and never advanced very far in the scouts but that was my fault the opportunity was there and like many things in life was never acted on.

Will he recieve a signed citation from Washington and Mr. Trump? I remember that O`bama refused to sign these citations of merit while in office.Robert

You can't remember a thing that didn't happen: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/eaglescouts.asp

Congratulations to the new Eagle Scout, that's a lot of work put in for a distant return. Shows a good amount of discipline!

Nope! It's NEVER wrong here to brag about something that OUGHT to be bragged on! Congratulations to all of you, and you have every right to be proud of the results of your and his efforts over a long period of time. Eagle Scouts aren't made overnight, and any young one who has the determination and inquisitiveness and mettle to become an Eagle really DESERVES to be bragged on. And kudos to you for enabling him to achieve this, as well. Parenting is something that has become a "lost art" of sorts, in all too many cases. Thank YOU for bringing up such an obviously fine member of the younger crowd. Won't be that long before they'll take over for all of us, and having good ones to do that really, truly MATTERS, and it's going to matter a LOT before long. You've all done very well. All of you.

Congrats!

To the Eagle Scout and the parents...not an easy accomplishment.

[guywitha3006]

From another Eagle Scout congrats to him and you. There is a lot of dedication and drive required to achieve that. Be very proud of him! There is a lot of knowledge gained and doors opened (or that will open) as a result of his journey. I can't wait for my son to be old enough to join the Scouts.

[Hick]

From one Eagle and father of an Eagle to another-- You should both be very proud-- this is an accomplishment that will follow you in a positive way throughout your life.
