Eagle Court of Honor for 19 Eagles
We're having quite the event in our ward next Sunday. We have 19 Eagles being awarded at the same time. I'd like to claim I was part of it but I've only been here 4 months. Went to a few Eagle projects is all.
Anyway the court is a big deal. All 4 local news stations will be there and there are 4 BYTU players and a coach speaking at it. The governor is not coming but sent a DVD message. And there *may* be GA representation. I'm trying to get the Scout Committee Chair (a cougar fan) to say "we tried to get U of U players too but we couldn't find any that got past Tenderfoot" when he introduces them. Quite a feat to get 19 at the same time like that. |
19? That's incredible.

I guess even Eagle Court of Honors are bigger in Texas...

That is pretty impressive.
Think of all the merit badge work those moms had to do for their boys. |

If you go to the chapel of the ward I grew up in, there is a plaque with all Eagle Scouts on it. I'm sure many of you have ones like it. My name is on it, with a date of over 20 years ago. I am almost certain there are less than 19 names from then to now. I think there are actually about a dozen.

I never got my Eagle. I got my Star and then quit scouting to the end that I didn't work on any merit badges though I still participated in it as a mutual activity when my schedule permitted.
