Eagle Scout Award

I am an Eagle Scout as of May 2021, and I am a lifetime Eagle Scout member. In order to become an Eagle Scout, I was required to learn survival and wilderness skills, as well as leadership skills. To achieve my rank, I was required to have been in an active leadership role in my Troop for the majority of my time in scouting, and to have completed the required Eagle merit badges. Eagle merit badges required me to have a proficiency in First Aid, Emergency Preparedness, Personal Finance, Personal Fitness, and Citizenship in the World/Nation/Community. 

Every Eagle Scout must design and lead a project for their community that makes a lasting impact on the comfort, safety, or lives of others. My project helped to refurbish the Rocky Run Elementary School courtyard, which helped to give young students a clean and beautiful space to learn in. 

The Eagle Scout Award is renowned across the country as an indication of the merit, leadership, and knowledge of young men. I firmly believe that I would not have grown into the adult I am today without the valuable skills and comradery I gained of the Boy Scouts of America.
