Q: Has being a Boy Scout been what you thought it would be? Why?
A: Yes and no, I expected having to be active in the community, I did not expect it to teach me other life lessons in things such as personal finance, world citizenship, and family life.

Q: How have you reached this level and is there a higher level you are trying to achieve?
A: Becoming a Eagle Scout takes years of dedication, only 3% of all Scouts make it to this rank. It is truly a reflection of commitment. There are awards known as “palms” you can get as an Eagle, but you still must be under the age of 18. I opted not to go for these as they are difficult to obtain as a class-loaded senior in high-school, and they are not necessarily a new rank. There is no rank higher than Eagle.
