Proud Dad Moment...
Last night my Son passed his Eagle Board of Review and is now officially an Eagle Scout. You couldn't wipe the smile off that kids face last night (or mine for that matter  ).
I am extremely proud of the kid and he definitely earned it.
I just thought I would share the news w/ everyone.....after all you've been putting up w/ my scouting posts for over 7 years now  |

Nicely done to both the Scout and the Dad....

Congrats. Earning the rank of Eagle is something very few scouts achieve. The Eagle ceremony is sure to bring huge smiles to both father and son.

Awesome! I never made it past cub scout... Is Eagle the highest ranking? You truly are The "Dad" Fisherman and your kids are quite fortunate to have a father who really cares Kevin.

Kevin,
Congrats! It's a major achievement and both of you should be very proud. I noticed that you haven't posted any camping trips this year though????

Thanx Guys.....appreciate all the kudos. He told me when he was 6 years old he was going to be an Eagle and he followed through on it. He learned a lot along the way too....
Ricky, see me tomorrow and we'll toast to it....
Paul, we were supposed to go last weekend but the other adult on the trip ended up in the hospital having surgery Friday so we had to cancel. We still went September, October, and November though. |

That's great news and big accomplishment.
There is a lot of college scholar ships for being an eagle scout.
Very hard thing to achieve.
Congrats and savor his hard work.

Congratulations !

A heck of an achievement that speaks volumes about both of you. Takes dedication, committment, hard work, sacrifice, planning...all virtues that will serve your son well.
Scouting is awesome, and as John R said, our youth would be well served to put down the electronic gizmos and get into scouting. I got through Boy Scouts, loved it, can't wait to get my kids involved.
