    It's big stuff. Out of the hundreds of thousands of boys that start scouts only 2% actually earn that award. I started scouts at the lowest level when I was 5 or 6 and I turn 18 in three days. I've been working on this a while to say the least.

    Awesome! That's quite an accomplishment!

    I have a cousin that achieved Eagle Scout about 3 years ago. I played bugle for his ceremony.
    Starting to think about returning to bass playing in the very near future.

    I was a Scout for many years, never got past Tenderfoot, but I had a great time.

    I salute you, although I forgot the salute...



    Congrats!

    Congratulations! I was also a scout. For me it was mostly an excuse to hang out with my friends on Wednesday nights and skate after the scout meeting was over.I don't even remember how far I got but I had some good times also
