This year, we had two awesome scouts graduating with the Class of 2026. Each from a different school, each with a packed senior calendar, and each determined to somehow squeeze every last drop out of both high school and scouting. Between Eagle projects, scouting events, prom dates, senior events, exams, and the occasional “Wait…that paperwork is due WHEN?” moment, the road to Eagle got a little adventurous. Let’s just say these two definitely tested the meaning of “A Scout is Prepared” right down to the final hour.
But if scouting teaches anything, it’s perseverance. And these scouts proved exactly what it means to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, and brave when the pressure was on. They stayed the course, finished strong, and both earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
Over the years, they’ve hiked miles of trails, survived crazy campouts, flipped more than one canoe, laughed until they couldn’t breathe, and built friendships that will last far beyond troop meetings and campfires. Along the way, they gained leadership skills, confidence, grit, and enough stories to keep future scouts entertained for years.
Now they’re heading toward exciting new adventures. One is already chasing his entrepreneurial dreams with a growing candle business, while the other is headed to Northshore Technical Community College for Lineman School. Different paths, same determination.
We’re so honored to have been a part of their journey. We couldn’t be prouder of the young men they’ve become. Their future is so bright. Congratulations, Scouts. Keep living the Scout Oath and Law wherever life takes you. The world needs more men like you.
