Like I said, we had my son Jacob’s Eagle Scout ceremony this weekend.
Here he is smiling big with his certificate:
If you’re not familiar, Eagle is the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
To earn it, you have to pretty much do everything in the program: a minimum of 21 merit badges, leadership positions in your troop, and you have to plan and execute a big service project.
I’m unbelievably proud of Jacob and his hard work. I’m especially proud to be his scoutmaster!
Here’s the whole gang, with yours truly on the far right of the picture:
As I mentioned, the moment was a little bittersweet for me.
That’s because my old scoutmaster, whose family I have known pretty much my whole life (his wife was my kindergarten teacher) sadly died this week.
He was supposed to be there to join us, just like he was there at my Eagle Scout ceremony.
Here’s our old troop back in the day. That’s my dad with the big beard next to our scoutmaster.
It was sad for him not to be there, but I think we carry his legacy with us every time we do our work and follow the Scout Law.
Scouting means a lot to me, and the Scout law and oath is something I try to bring to everything I do.
The Scout Oath is: “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
If I can do all those things, I’m confident that I’m on the right path.
And they have all guided me in my trading and my teaching here as well. So I hope you feel that when you are here.
I’m proud that that legacy has carried into the next generation of my family! It was a great weekend for the Turnmires.
Hope you had a good one, too,
