What was the Highest Rank in the Boy Scouts

I was a cub scout for a while, and went with my twin brother who has cerebral palsy, when he had had enough of trying to camp and all with the rest we both gave it up. The really incredible thing is in a time when almost every other group would shun him the Scouts welcomed us both with open arms. I think it just got to be too much for him.

I worked a couple summers with 'scouting for the handicapped' as it was called at the time. One of the most rewarding things in which I've ever been involved. To make it even more challenging, the boys with whom we worked were from very urban inner city DC. So not only did they have the challenges with which they lived every day, they had never even seen a rural or wooded area in their lives.

I was a cub for two years, then a scout until I graduated high school. My troop never did the merit badges and advancement, but we were famous as the best campers, hikers, etc, in the council. We always won the competitions at camporees, first aid meets and such. Good times.

I have enjoyed the Scouting Program. I am a warrior with the Tribe mic-o-say. I attended the 1981 National Scout Jamboree as Troop Historian. I have one brother who is also an Eagle.
