Blogging My Trail to Eagle

So first off welcome to my virtual trail to eagle. Through this blog I hope to show you what I am going through on my trail to eagle.

First a little background, I am a 16 year-old star scout. I am the senior patrol leader and webmaster for my troop. I am also heavily involved in the OA lodge as lodge secretary and ceremonies team chairman. I joined scouts in third grade as a bear and have been doing it ever since. In my troop I have also served as troop quartermaster, instructor, and historian in the past.

My hope is to earn my life and eagle ranks in 2010. I am a bit behind on the schedule I had made because of school and the school musical which I had a major role in, but now that it is all done I hope to dive back into scouting. Below is my plan:

February -

  • complete Citizenship in the Nation
  • complete Personal Management
  • complete scoutmaster's conference and board of review for life
  • attend council life to eagle seminar (when offered)
  • begin hiking (plan hikes, do first aid req's)
  • begin personal fitness
  • begin planning project
March -
  • present project to troop committee and council committee for approval
  • begin securing supplies, manpower, etc for project
  • complete emergency preparedness
  • complete citizenship in the world
  • continue planning project
April -
  • continue merit badges
  • begin project when ready or able or continue planning
May -
  • complete personal fitness
  • continue project work/planning begin when ready if not already begun
June -
  • continue doing project
July -
  • continue/complete hiking
  • continue/finish project
August -
  • finish paperwork, and remaining requirements
  • eagle board of review
So how'd I do? I hope that I will be able to keep to this plan and I am going to post weekly progress updates and whenever else I make notable progress. Am I missing anything? let me now in the comments.
