Title: My Eagle Project
Post by: SmallFry on Sat, 01 September 2012, 22:00:58
So here goes,
I have been working on my Eagle Scout project and just wanted to share with the world, so I'll be posting pictures etc soon. I have been restoring a score board in my high school's wresting gym. :)

My friend is an eagle scout and wears his eagle belt buckle frequently, and it makes me so jelly!  (I didn't join boy scouts because my cub scout troop was 90% dbags who were afraid of the outdoors :/ Now I realize that 90% of people from the D.C. metro area are like this; products of a ****ty environment.)

Congrats on your accomplishment SmallFry!

i3oiler: I don't get the badge until I submit my paperwork for Eagle i3oiler, but I will for sure post a picture of me when I receive it. I also need to plan a ceremony with a few of my buds to receive the award.

WRXChris: Thank you very much! You should see if you can get a picture of his belt buckle. I'd love to see! I've been thinking of getting one myself. (Don't take a picture with him wearing it, that's just odd... 0_o)

Congrats SmallFry.  I remember how much work my Eagle Project was and how proud I was when I got it.

It's the highest rank you can attain in Scouts in the US.  In the UK, I believe it's called Queen's Scout.

The scoreboard is in the wrestling gym at my high school. It's there to stay. :P It's actually like 8 feet across and 12 tall, IIRC, so shipping that may be a bit of a problem. :P
