Josh Earned His Eagle

On Thursday, Josh had his board of review for his Eagle Scout. He was very nervous about the board. He would get to sit by himself facing 5 adult leaders who spent over a half an hour interviewing him.

He came out of the room with a smile as they closed the doors for discussion. About 10 minutes later they invited Josh and I back into the room to congratulate him on earning his Eagle. Ryan earned his Eagle on June 1st, but has not received it yet as he was waiting to have an Eagle court of honor with Josh. Josh's best friend Kyle earned his Eagle the same night as Josh. So we will have to plan an Eagle court of honor for three great kids. We will let you know when it will be held. It will be a few weeks before we hear back from the Scouts National office. Then we can plan a date.

Congrats to both Josh and Ryan! And Val, too! I know that this award recognizes a lot of work on everyone's part.

I know it may sound weird, but after having Lee serve in scouting so much through the years, I am actually looking forward to our own turn with scouting now that we have Kai!
