Devon is an Eagle Scout

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 Devon attended his Board of Review for the rank of Eagle Scout. The meeting started at 7:00 p.m. with Mr. Jim Fitzgerald, District Advancement Chairperson in charge. He invited Mr. John Jennings and Mr. Richard Bird to be the members of the Board of Review.

The first step was asking Devon's Scout Leader (Team Leader) Brandon White questions about Devon (without anyone else present).

The second step was to invite Devon to answer questions about himself, his Eagle project, his choices, etc. (I have no idea all the different questions they ask, but it takes quite a bit of time).

The third step is to invite the parents to say a few words on behalf of their child. It was nice to have Mark there to answer first. It was an excellent opportunity to reflect on Devon's accomplishments and weaknesses.

We are so proud of him for all that he is and all that he has become.

After that, the men deliberate and call us back - Devon was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for completing all the requirements for the rank of EAGLE SCOUT!
