Another Eagle in the Nest


We have another Eagle in the Nest. Last night, Son Two underwent his Board of Review for the Eagle Rank advancement. He had lots of support, and wonderful letters of recommendation; and now he is an Eagle Scout.


Here is a picture from the second phase of his service project last spring.

I think that is awesome news. Glen and I returned around 1:00 this morning from the S-F Scout Ranch near Farmington, MO where we attended the Fall Order of the Arrow Reunion. Glen Completed the Ordeal and is now a full member. Working towards Brotherhood I served as Glen's Elangomat for his clan.

At the turn of the 20 th century more people lived in Farmington [1] than in the county seat [2] sixteen miles upriver, its prominence fueled by the modern electric light plant, woolen mill, pants factories, flour mills, repair shops, coal mines, quarries, and several vinegar and pickle factories, in addition to the general agriculture of the region.
