One of the biggest accomplishments in my life so far was when I earned my Eagle Scout. I had been apart of Boy Scouts since I was a Tiger Cub in the first grade. Since then I had worked hard to become a leader and example for my fellow scouts. Boy Scouts and the scouting movement in general, has always been a big part of my life and a cause that has inspired me. Through scouting I have learned great integrity and leadership ability, along with a sense of responsibility and service to my community.
When I finally earned my Eagle Scout in 2011, at the age of 15, it didn't signal the end of my Scouting career, like it does for so many others, but the beginning of my leadership and adult roles in scouting. Since earning my Eagle Scout I have become even more involved in scouting. Just one week after earning my Eagle Scout I went on a 10 day 70 mile Philmont Backpacking trek through Northern New Mexico. While there we built a stretch of trail for the next generation of hikers. I then also took on the Junior Assistant Scoutmaster role within my troop where I acted as an adviser to both the adult and youth leadership in my local boy scout troop. This will lead to me becoming an Adult Assistant Scoutmaster when I turn 18.
Once I became an Eagle Scout it allowed me to get my first job as a Camp Councilor for a boy scout camp. My responsibilities at the summer camp taught me responsibility and dedication along with building on my leadership ability as I advanced in the summer camp's organization. That is why I believe Scouting and more specifically earning my Eagle Scout is my biggest accomplishment so far in my life.
