Thanks gents! I'm off to the Court of Honor, and I'll give him a hearty handshake and slap on the back from all of you.

YAY TIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats! How many of your troop have made eagle? (I saw the list of 16- just curious if there's any more!) Isn't it 1% of all scouts that make eagle?

I'm a few days late here...

But pass on my Congrats as well.

I'm an Eagle Scout myself... back from the dark ages of 1994.

And yes, Obeyan, rougly 1% of scouts reach Eagle. This speaks volumes about the quality of their leadership that Nanuq has had soo many. In many ways reaching the Eagle rank reflects more highly on the leaders than the scouts. I'm pretty certain that a large portion of youngsters have the potential, it takes leadership to bring that potential forward. Keep up the great work Nanuq.

One question though Nanuq... do your scouts know anything about reps?... my scout master never said a word about em... taught us all alot about carrying heavy things for long distances over rough terrain... that and old stories of his time in Vietnam. Kind of strange how these things DO prove useful in adult life though.
