A Scout’s Campfire

Matt B - Our Family’s Newest Eagle

January 11th, 2007 spryken

Please join me in congratulating Matt B, my nephew.  Our family’s newest Eagle Scout.  It has been a long, hard road but the journey is over.  With 2 uncles who were the first 2 Eagle’s in their Troop and the first in our family, Matt had quite a bit of pressure to complete the requirements of Eagle.  Early on in his life, he was told that there was no option of not completing his Eagle Rank.

He has made us proud.  As with most Eagle Scouts, Matt is highly thought of in his community, a “natural” leader. 

Fly high, Matt.  Remember, once an Eagle, always an Eagle.  You now embody the spirit of scouting.  You may not realize completely the impact that all of your work towards the Eagle Rank has had on your life now.  But as you get older and look back on what scouting has meant, you will see that it has shaped who you are as a person and as a citizen.

I have told you how proud I am?
