| Lafalum,
Your comments make me so thankful for the wonderful leadership my S had in his troop. He completed Eagle early in his freshman year of high school, as did 2 close friends. Their ceremony was in August just prior to the start of sophomore year. In his troop the boys are encouraged to finish early as the leaders are somewhat aware of the increasing pressures in high school of sports, driving (and girls), jobs, the college application process, etc. Hearing from some of you makes me remember that it is easy to take things for granted when there is no fly in the ointment! |
