Rock on Stik!  It is good to hear when a youth takes responsibility for doing good.  All to often we see the by-product of people who don't just care....litter, graffiti, vandalism.....and when anyone actually takes the opportunity to do good it gives me hope for the future!

Thank you one and all. I will pass on your kind words to him. After all these years involved with scouting and seeing how much each Scout who achieved this rank and honor has to put in to it, I have a ton of respect for that.

A Great Day for my son

I took a few weeks off of work for my annual vacation. No funds to really go anywhere for my family, but we did have a project together- helping our son with his Eagle Scout project for Boy Scouts. After getting approval from Council in early July, he spent that month and the first week of this month fundraising, mostly recycling, which netted him a substantial sum, but also some donations of materials needed (lumber, paint & fittings hardware) from stores. The project was to build some new benches for a courtyard area in his high school and since there were a couple garbage can holders there with decorative wooden planks looking kind of shabby, he did those as well. We spent the last week and half  cutting, sanding,  painting them all in the school colors (as directed by the school principal), and assembling these 12 benches and the can holder planks. This morning we installed them all and they look great. The work project is done! Now all he has to do is complete all the administrative side of the project for it to be submitted to the Council, do his board of review, and he will have earned his Eagle Scout rank. All of his other requirements have been met already. I am very proud of him! I just wanted to share that here among my FSM friends...
