Determination

Troop 3 in Youngstown, Ohio, recently had its first Eagle Scouts after being in existence for over 25 years. Troop 3 is a troop for Scouts who have mental and physical disabilities, and most of the Scouts are in their 30s and 40s. At the Eagle ceremony, five men received their coveted Eagle, after most of them had worked for the better part of 25 years earning the award, one small step at a time.

As you work on your advancement—I know you all get impatient and want to move along faster at times—remember Troop 3 and the Scouts who spent 25 years working toward their goal of becoming Eagles.
