A new eagle...

A member of our Trek was honored yesterday evening for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Danny Mooney is among our troop's newest 3 eagle scouts, bringing our total to 103 scouts over the troop's 50 year history. Also honored were Patrick Rooney and Kevin Mersol-Barg.

My son is busy with college apps and so forth so we haven't been around the troop very much. I was happy to attend yesterday's eagle court of honor and I'm very proud of Danny. I hope the two remaining members of our crew, Jonas and Oliver, decide to pursue their eagle rank as well.

I miss Philmont and wish I could go back there again. Maybe someday I can. Yesterday's eagle court of honor reminded me how much I miss scouting. Maybe my son and I can squeeze in one more weekend campout with the troop before he turns 18...
