Be Prepared...

Just a few weeks back we had Abram's Boy Scout Eagle Court of Honor. Wow was it a great day to breathe a sigh of relief. (for all of us) My dad came out from California for the special occasion. Which was so nice and made it even more special. Sarah, Aaron's sister came with her family too.

 Abram's Eagle Project was done at the Treasure Mountain Girls camp in CA, in 2010. He put in approved fire pits. But not before removing around 18 random circles of rocks first. Here are some pictures of the two day event. The first day it snowed the night before.

Their were many volunteers from the Auburn ward there to help out.

This all would not have been accomplished if it hadn't been for my dad for being a huge example and for also taking Abram to his first boys Scout Camp when he was 11. Thank you dad for showing love to Abram and helping him with this huge task. There are many others that Abram considers role models throughout his scouting years. I know that without the Army of leaders he has had he would have fallen through the cracks. In the letter that the BSA sends to the Eagle scout it says, Did you know only 4% of boys who start out in the scouting program actually obtain Eagle Scout? I found that fascinating! Thank you to all who helped in shaping Abram to be the young man he is today.
