I guess I'm one of the younger ones around here...
I received my Eagle in October 1997 and am currently an assistant scout master for our 11-year old patrol (which, sadly, is too young to be buying decent kilts - they're still growing, after all).
You're all making me proud to be associated with Scouting. I never got past First Class myself, but I am now the Charter Rep. for my Lodge. We've sponsored the local troop since it was founded over 70 years ago. Our troop has made an impressive number of Eagles for such a small town. I remember the year I made First Class we had an Eagle COH for 7 Scouts all at once and two years later another two were made Eagle. Nowadays it seems like there is another Eagle every other year or so. Not bad for a troop that usually has fewer than 20 Scouts.
Well I never made Eagle I but I made second class. I have however pined Eagle Scout awards on 25 boys including three of my own sons.
I loved wood badge so much I have done it 3 times
