Looking it over we can begin to appreciate the scope. Some of the requirements for the badges are daunting. What that young man has achieved is great (not the obligatory 'great' but truly great).

The patch in Hebrew above the BSA patch over his right pocket shows that he is a qualified Hebrew interpreter.
(My daughter's got one in Spanish. Not half so interesting . . . .)

One of our Eagles was a home schooled Merit Scholar.
The schools were beating down his doors with scholar ship offers

Very impressive!
I would imagine he has set himself up for tremendous success in the future! He set a goal and met it with distinction!
He is a freshman at Binghimham-SUNY in NY - I wish him good luck on his career!

THAT is impressive.
He’s lucky; his Eagle Scout card will have GWB’s signature on it. My card was dated on Jan 20, and was 1 day shy of having Ronald Reagan’s signature; I got stuck with Jimmah Carter.

I was thinking the same thing when I sent the msg!
Actually, you were probably only one.
Also, probably didn’t know Morse Code. :-)
