🎓🦅 Scout Spotlight: Celebrating Eagle Scout Andrew 🦅🎓

We’re proud to shine this month’s Scout Spotlight on Andrew, who recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout and graduated from high school — two major accomplishments that reflect years of hard work, leadership, and dedication. 👏

For his Eagle project, Andrew crafted and installed custom cat shelves for the Park County Animal Shelter, providing comfort and enrichment for adoptable cats in need of a cozy place to perch. 🐾 His creativity and compassion truly made a lasting impact on our community.

When asked what becoming an Eagle means to him, Andrew shared:

“It means being able to stick with something even when times get tough.”

Scouting has taught him valuable life lessons — the kind school doesn't always cover — and has helped him develop leadership skills he’ll carry into the future. One of his favorite memories?

“Shotgun shooting at K-M Scout Ranch. I got to shoot shotguns and was awarded for doing well!” 🎯

Andrew's biggest role model throughout his journey has been his father, who was also an Eagle Scout:

“He pushed me to my max, even when I felt like I couldn't go anymore.”

For younger Scouts, Andrew offers this advice:

“Scouting is supposed to be fun — but you’ve got to do a little bit of work too.”

As for his future? Andrew is still exploring what’s next but hopes to stay connected to Scouting as time allows.

He leaves us with a powerful quote he lives by:

“Never back up. Never back down.”

Congratulations, Andrew! We’re proud of your accomplishments and can’t wait to see where your journey leads next. 🦅✨

Service is at the heart of Scouting, and today we reflect on the ultimate service - sacrifice for our country.
