Just wondering how many Eagle Scouts we have in our midst.

I am.

moved too often to get involved with anything.

I changed schools 12 times before the 10th grade.

Did you grow up around Delta? If you did, and grew up on a ranch, you probably earned a lot of merit badges and didn't even know it.


Great country around there. I miss coming up in that area a couple of times a year like I used to. Darn diesel prices!

I am, me and 2 of my cousins got it all about the same time. Glad I did too, any young person I meet that is in the Scouts I tell them to stick to it, cause a lot of good things can come out of recieving Eagle Scout.

I made Life Scout and Order of the Arrow before leaving Scouting to work after my father passed when I was a young teen.

Scouting is great! I often think of volunteering to help a local Troop.

I was a "cub" scout back when I was 6 or 7...


The Southern California den I was involved was pretty shabby... The only cool thing I ever got to do was build this awsome kite that I got my picture taken with in the paper...

I have great memories of scouting and am still making new ones. I am an Eagle Scout as are my two brothers. It's a great program.

Being a Scout was one of the funnest things ive done. Im an Eagle and in the order of the arrow as well. Only about 2% of scouts get to Eagle rank. Heck yea im proud!

I am an Eagle Scout and have the Order of the Arrow also, I think a lot of having the drive to getthough the program has to do with the way one was raised. Both of my brothers are Eagle Scouts also.
