Curious... Who else out there is an Eagle Scout?

Like it says, who out there is an Eagle Scout and if so when did you get it? Grew up doing scouting since I was little, and, although growing up friends thought it was "dorky," "uncool," etc., it has definitely influenced my life. It introduced me to the great outdoors (growing up in the suburbs of LA) which I fell in love with and I'm now going to graduate with a degree in Natural Resource Conservation. As well, being an Eagle helped me get my first few jobs. I'm very proud of it.

So who else on TW is an Eagle? Or just participated in scouting? Any good stories?

 

I know Derek is.

 

bump. no one but Derek? anyone?

 

I am. 1997.
Brotherhood Order of the arrow.
1997 Philmont
1999 Philmont
1996 sea base

Also my brother is. It was nice because we got to travel and camp with our dad a lot.

 

Congrats to those that achieved the rank of Eagle, I was a coupe badges and a project away when I turned 16 and got a car!
Prioritys suddenly shifted to other things.

 

i was. it was real big when i lived down in tampa. when i moved to the panhandle it was dead. but me & my older bro did it when growing up.

 

1990 Philmont
1991 OA
If my memory serves me correctly.

 

Wow I attended Philmont in 1999 as well ( Asst. Scoutmaster) with my oldest son.
One of the best times I ever had with all the training to prepare and the great facility it was when we went.
I was a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow also as a youth.
I met at that time the onll living namesake Wippila Wiki of our local order at an award ceremony.
Spent way more years as an adult scouter with my 2 kids than I did as a youngin.
Lot's of stuff I think kids need to learn they will never be taught in "school"

 

I left off with my heart badge, philmont in 2006 or 07

 

I am. Will updated with the year later... lol

 

Congrats to those who achieved Eagle scout. I have a 7 yr old who's very interested in being a Scout.

 

I am an Eagle Scout with bronze leaf. Got it in 1986.
Jr Asst. Scout Master of my troop.
Brotherhood member of OA.

Some of the best things of my life happened in and because of scouting!

 

x2

 

I was born in '86.... lol

 

I was 15! Yep, I'm old!

 

Aye. just got it this past June. It's probably my greatest achievement so far in my life.

 

Got mine August 5, 2007

 

Sadly i only made it to Life. Most of the kids in my age group in the troop made it to Eagle.

 

I achieved it many moons ago, I even made a go kart as my eagle scout project!

 

Very nice guys! Ya I got my Eagle october 5th, 2006. Worked for scout camps for 4 years at two different camps. Never made it to Philmont, but I worked at a camp called Log Cabin which was right on the border of Yosemite overlooking Mono Lake that did backpacking into the park.
Some of the best parts of my child/kid hood were in scouts, and some of the best lessons I've learned too.
