Just wondering. Count me in.

Are you kidding? I was a shitty excuse of a cub scout. I must confess i don't know what it entails to be an Eagle Scout. Maybe you could fill us in?
|
|
Pretty much this:
http://www.usscouts.org/advance/boyscout/bsrank7.asp Sorry, dunno how to make it hot. |
|
I was something like three merit badges and a service project short. That is (honestly) one of my major life regrets. |
|
Almost, but I had to worry about not failing to many classes in high school so I stopped at Life.
But I worked at Camp Wilderness in MN and the scouts taught me plenty of things and helped get me where I am today. |

Quoted:
Eagle, Order of the Arrow, and Firecrafter. I don't remember ever hearing of Firecrafter? I made OA, but I wasn't active in it. |

Quoted: Quoted: Eagle, Order of the Arrow, and Firecrafter. I don't remember ever hearing of Firecrafter? I made OA, but I wasn't active in it. Yep. Old school. Where Rifle and Shotgun was REAL 3 position shooting. Wilderness survival required dressling game animals. |

Ronald Reagan signed my card (that was back when prior to the President being removed as the head of the BSA, under Clinton) in 1984.
|
|
Quoted:
Eagle Scout Order of the Arrow (Brotherhood) Same here! |
|
I'm not, but my son is. I'm an honorary OA, at least that what I think they call leaders who weren't tapped out until they were adults.
|
|
my FIL who just passed away was an Eagle Scout and order or Arrow, my son is a bear this year
I was a Civil Air Patrol Geek in HS |
|
Been there done that got the tshirt!
-Foxxz PS - Also, don't piss my mom off. She doesn't forget it. I had a cop visit my house when I was 8 because I into something . He told her this was the start of a long life of crime for me. She never forgot that man and sent him invitations to my eagle scout ceremony 9 years later! |

Right here.
With 3 palms and Vigil Honor O.A. (Shawnee Lodge #51, GSLAC) Been to Philmont 2x and traveled to Japan on a BSA scholarship to attend an Asian Jamboree. ETA: Summer of 1994 |
|
Full bird tenderfoot here. Only merit badges I got were rifle & shotgun, and archery.
|
|
Eagle Scout
Order of the Arrow (Brotherhood) I still help out with merit badges occasionally. |
|

I was never in scouts. My son will get life the next court of honor. He is the SPL this term. We are both in the Order of the Arrow. Went through it together. A very good memory.

Eagle Scout with 2 palms. Did a 110 mile trek at Philmont. One of the best experiences of my life. I am now a Scoutmaster trying to give some of that back. We just got back from a 58 mile, five day backpacking trip with the older Scouts.
|
|
I am. No palms for me, but I did hike Philmont and join the OOA.
|
|
Gerald Ford signed my Eagle card...well, it was a stamping...
|
|
Eagle, Bronze palm. OA Vigil, though I don't really count it because I didn't enjoy OA and never went more than once or twice. |
|
(BTW.....It's amazing how an offhand mention of the fact that you made Eagle Scout can help your career at times.......) |
|
Just pinned on on the first of this month.
OA too, but I haven't had the time to go Brotherhood. Sucks when your lodge covers the entire state. |
|
I am, no OA though - I never saw the point. I did do Philmont and it was amazing.
