Eagle Scout
I joined Boy Scouts of America as Tiger Cub when I was in the first grade. I worked my way through Cub Scouts earning the designation of a Super Achiever and the Arrow of Light award before transitioning into Boy Scouts. As a Boy Scout I learned valuable lessons and worked countless volunteer hours serving others. I earned the designation of being the Top Seller of Camp Cards and Popcorn not only in my scouting district but also the multi-state council. I chose a small local park that had been neglected over the years as my Eagle Scout Project, bringing the basketball court back to life and adding picnic tables for families to enjoy.
