Summary

Service in Scouting since age 7 has included time as both a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and now as an Eagle Scout. This commitment to the Scouting program as led to many great experiences. Improving skills in learning leadership and providing them to others.

As an aviation enthusiast, flying since age 10, progress to earn a private pilots license is nearing completion. The goal with this accomplishment is to become a commercial pilot at some point in the future. I hope to continue to grow my knowledge of aircraft and experience of flying at every opportunity.

As part of the SKY Program, a local youth aviation program, I am learning various trades and skills outside of aviation and in the aviation industry. Since 2019, I have been apart of that program.

Accomplishments

    In June 2020 I began preparing for my Eagle Scout Rank. After an opportunity for an Eagle Scout Project was presented to me, I began to do research on materials and resources needed to complete the project. In September 2020, with the help of many volunteers from Skyranch Airport and BSA Troop 246, the existing floating dock at Skyranch was removed. With several days of work and many helping hands a new and improved dock was built in its place.


    Through 2021 and early 2022 I completed the needed Merit Badges to be able to finish the process and earned my Eagle Scout Rank in May of 2022.
