Congratulations Stuart!

Stuart has been working hard at scouting over this summer - and we are both really proud of what he has been able to accomplish!  Last night they held the Court of Honor, for all the awards earned at camp this summer.  Stuart set a high goal of 6 merit badges and came very close to that.  Here are the ones he finished:

Emergency Preparedness

 

ART

Swimming

Sculpture

Wilderness Survival

Environmental Science

He also finished up Environmental Science last spring, so he earned 6 badges over the summer.  We sat down and he set up goals for finishing the other merit badges he needs.  His goal is to be able to work on his Eagle starting in the spring, and then do it over the summer -before he heads up to camp - where he is wants to work as a CIT - counselor in training.  I still need to look into that - and make sure it won't interfere with his varsity activity.  But, he is motivated at the moment, lets hope that he stays motivated.

Another item we are very proud of him for, is achieving the rank of Star.  He finished up everything for that last month, and they were able to have his Scout Master Conference and board of Review yesterday.  He didn't recieve the award at the court of honor, but as far as advancement goes - they told him that his time starts as of yesterday.  So we are very happy that he has made it to there.   His goal there is to have his life rank by March, and he is well on his way for that. - So even though I know he rarely reads this - STUART  - we are very proud of you and pleased with your progress.
