An Eagle in Our Midst

Becoming an Eagle Scout is not an easy task, especially for a sixteen year-old. Caleb Little, a student at our beloved school, has accomplished this laborious task. He began cub scouts in first grade and has been a scout ever since. In order to achieve Eagle status he had to attain twenty-one merit badges, display Scout Spirit through the Boy Scout Oath and Law, do service projects, and display abilities of leadership (which is much easier said than done). Caleb would even call this hobby a career. Although it is extremely physically and mentally demanding, it is very rewarding in the long run. Along with becoming an Eagle Scout, he has had many memorable experiences such as canoeing in Canada and some valuable life lessons like survival and team/morale boosting skills. In addition to what this will add to his college application, he has achieved the ultimate boy scout honor. Congratulations Caleb! You have reached the mountain top. Remember that once an Eagle always an Eagle. This accomplishment is something that you will cherish the rest of your life.
