I'm back! -An update

 So, it's been a few years. I have earned the rank of Eagle about a year ago now. I am now currently very involved in the OA(Order of the Arrow), I've worked two years at my council summer camp, etc. In this post I'll give you a brief update of the past two years. 

First off the big thing, I earned Eagle Scout! I'll write a whole post about my project later on, but I'll give a brief description of my project. My project was a adoption event and donation drive for a local no-kill animal shelter. I am very passionate about animals and especially no-kill shelters. I have always tried to support no-kills so when the opportunity came up I was very excited. I earned Eagle Scout September 14th, 2023. I had some of my best friends there to support me and I was the fourth eagle in my troop and my family. 


 After earning eagle I held my court of honor, where I handed out six mentor pins. One to my committee chair Mrs. Becky, one to a fellow founder of my troop and good friend Ani, and the rest to my four brothers Zach, Jon, AJ, and Payton. People from my church, troop, lodge, and camp came to celebrate with me, which I was incredibility grateful for. 
Obviously that was my biggest update, but I do have some others. Like I'm in the OA! I did my induction in spring of 2022. I am now a brotherhood member and current Vice Chief of Service (2024 year). I have also been Head of Kitchen before and CVC(conclave vice chief) of trading post (2024.)I am super grateful for the OA and I have learned so much about leadership and brotherhood. I have seen my best friend and honorary little sister get inducted in the past few months. I've also gone to three section conclave, which is like a big campout with surrounding lodges in Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. And this years conclave I was CVC of trading post and taught a training. I have had so much fun in the OA and I plan on continuing to be involved for years to come.


 The last update I'll talk about is working at camp. So I worked in 2023 for two weeks as a CIT(counselor in training.) And in 2024 I worked as a Junior staff (under 18 year old staff member), in our nature program where I taught many merit badges, archelogy being my favorite. I meant my best friend during my CIT year, Aianna and our bond only grew this summer. I also meant a few more close friends this year. I will write a more in detail post later about camp.


So, there's the update. I'm going to start posting more, no promises of a schedule though. I hope you all enjoyed hearing a bit about my life the past few years! I will write more soon, thank you all.

The Beginning

It all started in February 1st, 2019, the day Boy Scouts became Scouts BSA, the day anyone could join. I heard of this news and my mom asked me if I would want to join, now at the time I was in a different program that shall not be named, when she asked I broke down in tears and said I didn't want to leave my friends, what I didn't know at the time that year on July 30th, 2019, I would become one of the founding members of Troop 26G.      In mid-June 2019 my mom and I were at a recruiting event for the program I was in at the time, we were the booth next to the Cub Scout pack and Boys troop that my brothers are in, and the pack had decided to allow girls, or become "A family pack". My mom started to think more about where those girls would go once they cross over, and at the time the program I was apart of was no longer teaching me the things I want to learn, at the end of the recruiting event I got in the car, and thought to myself that I didn't like the program ...

Our first campout as Troop 26 G

 So, we were finally a troop, the next step was to go on a campout so we made plans Camp Cedars on the third weekend of August. We were going to work on our Firemen chit, Totin chit, and requirements for our first few ranks.  So first we needed to plan, how were we going to do this? Our first meeting was spent planning. We had planned to borrow our linked boys troops axe box to use for totin chit. The meal planning and oh boy were we in over our heads! Of course most of us had been camping with our families but we rarely cooked at those so we thought it would be a good idea to make pancakes for breakfast Saturday morning. Now if you have been camping yes pancakes are easy to make for the most part unless your inexperienced in camp cooking and fire building but after a hour of trying to cook the pancakes it was done! But oh wait we have to cook our eggs in the same pan as we took half of the boys gear, luckily eggs aren't too hard to cook so no problem right? Oh yeah I almost f...
