On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent.
My cousin, Matt, made his Eagle Scout on August 8th, 2011. It's the highest rank that can be achieved in the Boy Scouts of America program. Less than 5% of boy scouts achieve this honor. I am so incredibly proud of Matt for being able to achieve this accomplishment, especially all while being really, really ridiculously good looking. : )
