What does it mean to you to have completed your Eagle Scout rank?
I feel like I have grown from this experience. I have learned so much, especially how to be a good leader. I also can now dedicate more time to the Order of the Arrow and service work.
What was the project you worked on to be able to complete the rank of Eagle Scout?
I made three benches around trees in the McAdory High School courtyard to provide seating for the students and faculty.
What does it mean to be honored by the city for this accomplishment?
I feel extremely honored to have such praise, and I believe that I couldn’t have gotten it without my friends and family.
What first got you into scouting?
My brother joined a cub scout group so it motivated me to join so I could do what my brother was doing.
Growing up in Scouts, what has been the most fun part to you?
All the service that I have the opportunity to do, and being in the outdoors, is amazing.
Outside of Scouts, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I am a student at the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering in Huntsville and I love it. I am on the Robotics and Archery team there and I enjoy participating in those groups.
Who has served as your biggest role model throughout your life to get you to where you are now?
My dad and his many talents and skills have been my biggest inspiration
How will the work you put toward achieving your Eagle Scout rank help you in the future?
I believe that the survival and life skills I learned while earning my Eagle rank will help me to reach my life goals.
