Bird Haven Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner

Today was a wonderful day.

Ethan, along with many other 2013 Eagle Scout Recipients, 

were honored at the 

Bird Haven District's Eagle Scout Recognition Dinner.

There were 83 Eagle Scouts in 2013 in the Bird Haven District. Unfortunately the majority of the boys did not attend the dinner. Speculation was that many of them were now serving LDS missions due to the recent age change for missionaries. 

12 of the 83 Eagle Scouts attended.

Ethan was given his recognition certificate, 

a Golden Spike quarter turned pin,

and a very cool flashlight pen

by Utah House of Representative Lee Perry.

The Keynote Speaker, Kevin Hall, was a great speaker.

I really loved his message to the boys.

He admonished them to not stop 

at Eagle, but to remember the oath they made

 when they received their Eagle to reach back and to help future Eagle Scouts. To give back to Scouting

as a thanks for all that Scouting had given to them.
