It was Scout Sunday at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church today.
While both of our Scouts participated, I was struck by something that Laura said. On behalf of the church, Pastor David presented her with the Eagle Scout board for the newly-formed Troop 523.
This is a big deal because Troop 706, which is John’s Troop and the affiliated boy troop, has a rich history of 150+ Eagle Scouts. When Laura realized that the board was for Troop 523, she was so very excited. After the services were over, she said to me, “I WILL be one of the first names added to that board.” I know she has a goal of Eagle, but her voice this morning was pure determination. It made me proud. Bust down those walls, Red. Let everyone know that you can do anything you put your mind to. I cannot wait to plan your Eagle Court of Honor.
