Eagle Scout

But as I listened closely, I heard something else. Something that sounded like feathers. “What? Oh ya. Cat. What about you?” I asked the question carefully, not wanting to cross any boundaries. “Bald Eagle I think.” Hazel 's voice shook as she talked. “Hey. It 's not all bad. Look at this.” Hazel snapped out a pair of brown wings, brushing my face as she did. I stared in awe as she tested out the muscles. “Can you fly with those?” I had a hard time…

Vail, Colorado, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Also, one of my favorite places to travel. I always get so excited to go to there with my dad’s side of my family. My dad is one out of seven children of Grandma and Grandpa Clawson and they have over 40 grand children. With this big of family, we obviously have such a fun time together no matter what type of vacation it is. Almost everything about Vail is amazing. I love waking up to the smell of camp fire or just beautiful mountain…

I was around the age of Ten when I first caught a fish in Canada. It was in the middle of a hot summer day. There was the smell of newly bloomed flowers in the air. We were getting ready to board the boat when a bald eagle soared across the baby blue summer sky. The engine had just been turned on, and you could hear the steady beating drum of the motor, and you could smell the pungent odor of gasoline being burned. We had been gliding and bouncing over the dark murkey water for what felt like…

It was many years ago that I found myself to be away from home the first time. I was a cub scout then and was super nervous. I was always super cautious and wary of dangers hiding behind the corner. I thought that something would jump out and scare me, or drag me to my doom. I felt more comfortable being at home versus being in the wilderness, where I felt exposed to the unknown and maybe the wrath of mother nature. Home made me feel safe, and in those days camping tended to make me uneasy due…

What would America be like if every young boy was enrolled in Boy Scouts? The Boy Scouts started in America in 1910, after Lord Baden Powell traveled to England. He was trying to find a business building, and being a foreigner, a young boy could tell that he was clearly lost. The boy asked him where he was going, and after Lord Powell told him, the boy didn’t know either. Powell and the boy were wondering around London trying to find the building, and as soon as they came upon it, Baden Powell…

conference room. After a thirteen year commitment, I was about to finish the journey I started in kindergarten. I was walking into my Eagle Board of review and was about to join a very select group of boys that can call themselves Eagle Scouts and achieve the most prestigious achievement of my life to date. As I looked around the room I was thinking about all that Boy Scouts had meant to me. I remembered learning how to shape a block of wood with a sander during my first attempt to make…

”After Twelve, age isn’t important. Most of us even lose track of how old we are...What’s important is the preparation for adult life and the training you’ll receive.” This quote is from the book, The Giver, and even though it was said in a fictional world where everything is always perfect, it still can relate a great deal to reality. We might not lose track of how we are, or agree that age is not important after twelve, but it is important to be prepared for adulthood. Everyone needs good…

Safety is very important in our facility. Therefore, since I have started I made sure we had a meeting during our lunch break discussing the safety protocols. The purpose of this was to inform everyone what to do and where to go if something dangerous ever occurs. With so many things that have happened lately in the world it was important for me to make sure everyone feels safe and secure working here. I do hope that we never get to actually do any of these things but if there is an accident at…
