This was Isaiah before he left for Winter Camp 2011. He had already began meeting with his Eagle Mentor Asst. Scoutmaster Kimberly Parker to get through the slew of paperwork that is required for the new Eagle Scout Workbook.
He and his dad attended a Life to Eagle Seminar at the Winter Camp. It provided enough information for him to muddle his way through the process. I am amazed at all that they require for this rank of Eagle. There are so many aspects: researching prices, products, talking with experts, fundraising, planning and executing. What great life lessons Scouting provides!
I have to admit, I was not big on him joining Scouts at first. After all, I had no brothers or any concept of what impact Scouting can have on a young man's life. I am fully convinced that Scouting provides experiences that help boys develop into men with character and a heart for service and leadership.
