Tom’s been out of Scouts (except as an employee) for almost 3 years. He will be 21 in October. It’s just taken this long to schedule the Eagle ceremony. I told him he’d end up like one of the those 84-year-old men who earned their Eagle award in 1941 and then didn’t have a ceremony because World War II started. “Cool!” he said, but by then, his dad and I would be dead.
There was a young man from another troop at the Town Council meeting last night, working on his “Citizenship in the Community” badge. He’s a high-school student taking classes at CP, was in Chemistry with Tom in the spring.
Ah. Well. Good for Tom! Too bad I’m not there. I like Eagle Ceremonies.
