Ask an Eagle Scout

[AnonyPoni 564]

Well, I suppose somebody had to do it.

 

It's October, which is sorta the first anniversary of me becoming an Eagle Scout. This October is also important since I turn 18 on the 16th, aging me out of Boy Scouts.

 

So this is my last chance to do this "Ask a Pony" as an actual Boy Scout

 

I've been in scouting for, what, almost 6 years now. In the course of that, I've done heap of stuff: things like mountain climbing to white water rafter (and a whole lot more).

 

I have a lot of great/interesting/stupid/maybe inspiring stories to tell, as well as some advice for newer scouts or those on their way to Eagle. 

 

I dunno, ask me stuff.

First of all, congratulations!  As a fellow Eagle Scout (no longer a Boy Scout; I aged out three years ago ), I know that it takes quite a bit of work to get to where you are.

 

As for questions, I feel like it's fitting to ask what your service project was, and how that went.  Also, did your troop ever go to one of the High Adventure sites?  I never went there myself, but I've heard that they're supposed to be great.  Now I can't even remember their names...

Hey, thanks

 

My Eagle project was setting up a computer lab for this organization called SAVE. They provide job training for mentally disabled adults. I brought 12 computers back from the dead using Linux After I got my Eagle, I went there a whole bunch of times to do training with them.

 

As for high adventure, I went to the 2010 National Jamboree if that counts. I moved too much to go on any real High Adventure camps (even for the Jamboree, I moved right before it, so I went with a Nebraskan troop even though I was living in New Jersey )
