What is not an airplane, but flies? An eagle of course, Congratulations to Taylor, Me109, Me109 for just becoming an Eagle Scout, he is already a pilot. Several former presidents were Eagles, maybe Taylor has a future there. Warbirds can always use friends in high places.

Congratulations!

As a Scoutmaster, I get to see these fine young men obtain this rank on a fairly regular basis. They have put in a lot of hard work and devotion to earn this honor. It is a worthy endeavor and they will be better citizens for it.

He's in good company...Try this list on for size

Congratulations! "A hundred years ago" or so it seems, I achieved the rank of Eagle when I was 16 and stayed in Scouting all through high school.

It is an achievement of which I am proud and gave me a valuable direction in life at a very young age. Be proud, young lad, and keep that drive alive in whatever you choose to do. 8)

Congratulations as well!!!! It's an achievement you will be proud of the rest of your life.

Back when I was doing management consulting, it was amazing how many senior executives I worked with that were Eagle Scouts. More than once it helped me make a "connection" with the client (I'm also an Eagle Scout).

Taylor,

Congrats. I know that is a lot of hard work. I'm sure Gordon is very proud, as he should be.

Congratulations!
I got a letter from Gerald Ford when I made Eagle. (He was President and Eagle - and war hero in the Navy it turns out . . .)

Another Eagle here 1978

Anyone who submits a resume to my company including the fact that they are an Eagle scout goes straight to the top of the list and a guaranteed interview.

My son is a Webelo and plans on following in dads footsteps.

Congratulations and make sure to let people know of your achievement.

Thank you all very much! It was so much fun and i urge any and all boys to participate. Eagle Scout represents a willingness to serve. I thank all of you who have served, you have set a great example for me to follow.

P.S. I'm still looking for that L-5 :wink:

Taylor
