Congrats - great accomplishment and you should be a proud Pappa for sure !!!!!

His project had 2 parts. He refurbished a a walking bridge at his former Elementary School. He then built a barrel system to collect water from rain gutters for watering plants in the school courtyard (drought inspired). The barrels have easy to use spouts that can connect to a hose, and an overflow system to divert excess water back into the ground.

Considering exposure to less honorable behavior in his environment (regardless of where you are/or what you do) , at his age, you and your family should be indeed proud. Eagle is not easy, and certainly not a Gimme'.

I hope to one-up you some day. My oldest just moved up to Boy Scouts, Thing 2 is a Wolf, and the youngest is a tagalong who is picking up on everything the two big bro's are doing.

It's touching to see this support for Scouting. As many have said, achieving Eagle is a family and community effort. Scouting has greatly benefited both of my Eagle Scouts, and your support will help keep the organization strong..... For those of you with young Scouts, I look forward to hearing about their success!!!

Something I will never forget from my childhood...Always be: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, & Reverent. A little corny but it has helped me become a good person.
