Eagle Scout, here. Seriously changed my life. I'm planning on going to the Scout Sunday celebration at my parish.

[dauntingknight]

Very close on getting Eagle.

My dad is a Scout leader, one of my brothers is an Eagle Scout (coincidentally, he turns 18 on February 7th as well), and my other is, i believe, either second or first class. I was in girl scouts when I was little, but I quit after 2 or 3 years. There have been times when I've thought the program had taken over my family, and I hated that, but in general, it's pretty cool.

My oldest made Eagle Scout. Think I'll send him a card.

[dauntingknight]

Only My older brother"eagle_eye00221" made Eagle......

he is the only one so far!

My Darling Hubby made Eagle in 1987. I met him the next year in 1988 when I worked at the council's Boy Scout Camp. I went on to work in the Council office my Senior Year in High School and through College.

Oh, and my Grandfather was a BS Chaplain for 20 years or so. Give or take.

For a Girl, Boy Scouting seems to be in my Blood. :

I've never been a scout. I did handball and dancing instead.

[CatherineM]

I was a Camp Fire Girl. Back when there was such a thing before they started letting boys in.

[princessgianna]

Was in girl scouts for 6 weeks. But I tend to not tell people that!

[CatherineM]

I was in Camp Fire for 10 years. Then 2 years as a Medical Explorer Scout. I did my time as den mother too.

You didn't put Ventures in the opeions
Anyways. My dad along with his brother, two of my cousins, and quite a few friends of mine(then again, i work at a boy scout camp lol) are Eagles. If I were a boy, I"d probably be up there, but right now I'm bearly working on my bronze award.

Did anyone catch the BSA 100th anniversary float in the Pasadena Rose parade(on New Years)?

[ReinnieR]

i was a boy scout for 2 different countries. i started with the boy scouts of the Philippines then boy scouts of america

[ReinnieR]

we're talking about BSA being a 100 right? not the boy scouts in general?

[Maximilianus]

I was a Cub Scout for a minute, then a Boy Scout for a couple of years, made it to 2nd class.
Troop 240, Vilseck Germany, Transatlantic Council.
My brother made it to Life Scout.
My dad was a Scout too, according to him the stuff he learned as a Boy Scout in Puerto Rico helped him out in Army Basic training...the orienteering I learned in Boy Scouts helped me in Marine Boot Camp.
