The journey to Eagle Scout is a long and difficult one, yet it is an enjoyable one. It started years ago as 'Tiger Cubs' and later on as 'Cub Scouts'.
Upon joining the troop, they advanced and held positions of responsibility. This rank is not easily attained and that is why is so special.
Remember, No one ever says 'I was an Eagle Scout'. Because once a young man becomes an Eagle Scout, he is forever an Eagle Scout.
