so i passed my board of review on August 17 of last year and i finally had my court of honor. this will be one of the most memorable times of my life because my 86 year old grandfather (the one who found me my Cadillac) was one of the speakers and on his way up he asked my to stand. i did, and he started to say something and just broke down into tears and gave me a huge hug.
This is the first time i have ever seen my grandfather cry. He is an amazing man, so many stories, he served in WWII and he was a scoutmaster for 49 years and his three sons are eagle scouts. i am the 9th eagle scout on my moms side of the family.
That's a real accomplishment, way to go! That's definitely not a rank they just give you, and having it will be helpful later in life. I left the Scouts with the rank of Star when I moved to TN.
Congrats on Eagle. Like so many others, I made it to Life then got distracted by girls and cars and beer and never finished Eagle. I really regret not making it now, I wish I would have stuck with it. It's a great thing to have...and yah, I agree...it builds character.
I have a kind of off topic question...so Girl Scouts sell cookies (which I LOVE!!) but do boyscouts sell anything? I don't think I've ever seen them...I know they help out with x-mas tree pick-up etc...but anyway, just curious.

"The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 4 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1911. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank."
i just read some info on eagle scouts, and it said about 2 percent of all scouts become eagles. and less then .5 of the entire male population are eagle scouts.
I helped my 2 best freinds at the time (there twins) get there eagle scout deals , there was a name for the big project that must be undertaken to get eagle ....each took the beatter part of two days ...it really is something special
somwhere after i made it to the rank after tenderfoot i lost interest in everything and pretty much withdrew from the world for a few years ...suposedly i had a girlfreind at the time from what my parents tell me ....dont remeber much of it....i joined the airforce and a nice drill sargent pulled my head out of my ass for me ....

Google on it. You won't like what you read outside of their own publications. What does that say about a secret society? :tisk:
Catholics like myself are forbidden to join the Freemasons. If it hasn't already, the Methodist Church is set to become the first Protestant Church to reject Freemasonry, advising its members not to join Masonic lodges.
I've done enough reading on my own to believe that the Church's position is correct.
Dont bash the Masons...we know where you live!:tisk:
