Additional Information
  • Additional Information: I have been in the Boy Scouts of America organization since I joined Cub Scouts when I was 6. In 2003 I joined Boy Scout Troop 480. Throughout those years I became confident with the outdoors, the equipment used there, and how to teach others about nature. I worked my way through the ranks and just before my 18th birthday, I earned the Eagle Scout Award. This is something special to me because it took me 7 years to receive it and a lot of hard work. As a requirement for this rank, I had to organize and complete a community service project. For mine, I renovated the Beef Prep Barn at the Montrose County Fairgrounds. This barn is used during different events held at the Fairgrounds including the County Fair each year. This project and my other experiences in Scouting helped me develop leadership skills, accomplish goals, and become very comfortable living in the outdoors. I strive to live every day by the Scout Oath and Law.
