As an adult leader, I am proud of my Scouts. I'm especially proud of them when they perform a flag ceremony, receive a rank advancement, but I am blown away when one of them receives the Vigil Honor! We had 3 called out for that honor Saturday night.
Andy, Billy, and Don all 3 transferred as Life Scouts when we started Troop 12. They could have easily gotten their Eagle and gone on and done other things, as some of their fellow Scouts did in old Troop 10. However, all 3 chose to stay in Scouting and have obviously excelled.
There will probably be 100+ Eagle Scouts awarded in our Council this year, and only 3 youth Vigil Honors. Have I mentioned lately how proud I am of my Scouts?
