Information on Merit Badges required for Eagle, including the Troop Counselors Other Merit Badges offered by the Troop
The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1911. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank. The National Eagle Scout Association has a lot of information and guidance to offer Eagle Candidates, including the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook that can be used to guide a Scout through his Eagle Project. http://www.nesa.org/trail/. However the Nundawaga District steps are a bit different than the steps outlined by NESA. An Eagle Scout candidate should follow the Nundawaga District steps on his Trail to Eagle. As part of the Leadership Training, our Scoutmasters can take Wood Badge for the 21st Century. Mr. Yencer and Mr. Nellis took the training in late summer of 2009. Follow the above link to a page with information about what they did during the training, as well as the results of "working their Ticket"! |
