Another Milestone: Eagle Scout

Sawyer had his official Board of Review in Hornell on Monday night with the District representatives who gave their blessing on his many years of scout work and his eagle scout project. May 20, 2013 is the official date he became an Eagle Scout. Mark and I were able to go but had to wait outside the room until after the four-person committee had "interviewed" Sawyer. We went in when they were ready to share their decision. I knew it was a big deal but surprised even myself when my eyes filled with tears when it was announced by the committee chair. This is a goal Sawyer has had since first grade when he joined scouting as a Tiger Cub. We're so proud of him! And thankful to his scoutmaster and other adult leaders for guiding him through the process over the years.
