Boy Scouts

[MckDawg04]

Hey guys, any of you in or once part of a Boy Scout troop? I am for the last 9 years now, it's a great program, really does good for some of the kids.

Anywho, just thought I'd ask and see how many Boy Scouts there are on CF. CYa!

I was but haven't been to a meeting for a while.

I made Eagle too!

Once an Eagle always an Eagle (I was Eagle Scout of the Year for the state of Indiana in '04) I've been rockin Boy Scouts since I was little, you name it, I've done it, even working at the dreaded summer camps man...

That's awesome, congratulations on that. I made Eagle also. Nice to see another couple of scouts on the site.

CYa!

I was a boy scout for many years. Hope to have a son someday so I can introduce him to scouts!

I think all of us scouts feel the same way. I can't wait either...

Normally I don't play the part of thread-necromancer, but I figured just once it wouldn't hurt.

I just had my Eagle Ceremony this past month (see profile picture), even though I actually earned the rank in 2004 (being away at college plays hell with scheduling). Worked for 4 years at one of the greatest camps I know of, Camp Workcoeman in the Connecticut Rivers Council, teaching Scoutcraft, Handicraft, and finally running the archery range (still have my instructor certification for that, which is cool). I have been in scouting since the age of 6 (hurray for Tiger cubs!), and fully intend to stay involved.

Same here. I haven't been to a meeting since I moved to Arizona.

That reminds me, I think I need to update my membership to the OA.

LOL I am the first girl to say that she was a girl scout. I started at Keas and went up through to scouts but then my troop closed down due to lack of numbers, although I am looking at joining the ventuers in a town near-by.

I never made it past Cub Scouts. In fact, I never made it to Webelo in Cub Scouts.

Proud Eagle Scout checking in. I was in Boy Scouts from beginning Cub Scouts all the way till I turned 18 and then a bit as an Assistant Scoutmaster. I still go backpacking with a couple of my other Eagle buddies, and I try to drop in sometimes and stay at least partially involved with my troop.

How old are Eagle scouts cause we don't have them here

 

[boilerblues]

I was in scouts, I only made it to Life (I joined in high school, didn't have enough time to make Eagle). If I have a son I'd like to be involved again some day.

Eagle Scouts can be any age really. Generally, a boy enters Scouting when they are 11. And they have from then until they turn 18 to finish numerous requirements and get their Eagle Scout.

Once a boy has reached Eagle, they will always be an Eagle. It's a long, hard road. Many employers in the U.S. understand that and many people in general regard Eagle Scouts highly.
