Just achieved my Eagle Scout rank!!

So tonight I had my Eagle Scout Board of review... I'm finally in! I'm finally an official Eagle Scout. I've worked my **** off for the past 8 years of my life to achieve this goal and I've finally made it. The board said my project is one of the biggest and most complicated and involved project they have seen in their 18 years on the board. Any other Eagle Scouts out there? Here are some before and after pics!

Yes it is in fact Boy Scouts.

They each go 3 and a half feet below the top of the stone wall. They each weigh close to 400 lbs too,it was a pain to say the least lol. Two of my buddies actually got theirs tonight too, a total of 5 of us from my troop have reached eagle in the past 3 years.

We only had 6 active boys at the time actually. All of which are 17 years old and huge hulking fellas tho, our scoutmaster is a big old feller too. We busted major A and got it done in only 7 working days over a period of about 3 weeks after I had it all planned out and materials lined up. Total man hours was right around 162 hours.

Congrats man! I made Eagle back in 2000. It'll help you ut down the road. I came in the Army a PFC because of it. Are you planning on staying active in your troop? Ive tried but being deployed all the time has kind of put that on hold.

I think we should make a "sticky" out of this thread in case any of us need to start a fire with flint or tie an obscure knot.......

Congratulations from someone who knows what it means.

You are, and forever will be, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous. kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

Once a scout, and always a scout since 1965.

Thank you very much. Its nice to know someone out there still appreciates scouting and respects it for being such a life changing organization.
