Default Re: eagle scouts

9/20/2004. I was 16.

Built a score keeper's box and 2 dugout benches for the church's baseball field. I learned about 9 months ago that during a brutal storm the score keeper's box was destroyed (for reference, it pulled up 3 of the 40 lb cement feet). I went and looked last week and it is still down. Soon as this dislocated shoulder is better I'm going down there with a chainsaw to get rid of the disheveled pile of wood

The only complaint I ever had with scouts is that I have a mental block for knots. Hours and hours of study and practice and I still can't tie anything. :/

Default Re: eagle scouts

Eagle in 1993. It is the personal achievement that I am most proud of (which might be obvious given my avatar). I built a fence around a playground that was built in the middle of an intersection. (hard to describe, but there was an "island" in the middle of the intersection, and the builders decided that kids did not need a fence to protect them while playing there???)

My brother is also an Eagle, earned in 1989.

I remember Philmont as one of the best summer camps i attended. We also went to Peaceful Valley, and did multiple high adventure trips (50 mile backpack trips, 150 mile canoe trips, ...).

I also was a foreign exchange student to Australia, and became invovled in the scouting down under. Very rewarding experience.

Matt
