It's not an act, because Scouting is integral to his adult life. <BR/><BR/>I had a very gifted Life Scout once who did a great project and didn't finish Eagle due to two merit badge requirements. He had time to do them, but he just didn't. Encouragement from his parents and our leaders did not help. As an adult, he's doing OK after a few rough spots, but he is not using his gifts at all. He is a good person, but he did not become an Eagle. Had we fudged and given him the award, I'm convinced it would not have meant what it should to him. If you don't become Eagle, you shouldn't get the medal.<BR/><BR/>Your son is a reflection of both you and the Scout unit you serve with. I'm sure you like what you see in that reflection! Give your son kudos from me.<BR/><BR/>-B.C.B C Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263985344823353358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693822310857129901.post-19407362434642390092007-08-10T22:31:00.000-05:002007-08-10T22:31:00.000-05:00My son who turned 18 shortly after becoming an Eag...My son who turned 18 shortly after becoming an Eagle, registered as asst.

After becoming eagle I would want to still be there.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17396040138650034627noreply@blogger.com
