Ice Tea's an Eagle

“That's right, our little beverage is now officially a high flying Boy Scout.”

“Congrats, Ice! Hope some of my cubs make it that far. It will make me very proud...”

“That’s great Ice Tea, congratulations.”

“Congrats, Tea!”

“Congratulations, Ice Tea! Boy Scouts ROCK! What did you do, hose your own thread?”

“Good job Tea! We're all proud of you.”

“Way to go, tea!”

“Congratulations!

Go punch out a librel to celebrate.”

“Congrats.

I look at hundreds of resumes each year. An Eagle Scout always goes to the top of the list.”

“He probably helped a little, old Liberal across the street.”

“Cungradulayshuns eyes tee!!”

“Being an Eagle Scout AND having matt start the thread....you da' man!”

“Congrats IT, it's a great akomplismunt. Just think..if we ever get drafted we go in one rank higher than non eagles!...LOL”

“As a former Scoutmaster & now a Venturing Crew leader, I know how much perseverence & work it takes to get there. You should be very proud of your accomplishment.

If any non-scouters here don't know the company Ice Tea now keeps, here's a little overview:

Scouting’s Alumni:

26 of the first 29 astronauts
63% of Air Force Academy graduates
68% of West Point graduates
70% of Annapolis graduates
72% of Rhodes Scholars
85% of FBI agents
88% of school newspapaer editors
77% of school Annual Editors
89% of Senior Class Presidents
80% of football captains
65% of basketball captains”

“So who else is an Eagle Scout here?

I am.”

“I am.
'87 with Silver Palm

BTW. The Boy Scouts is an apolitical organization despite the opinions of some here.”

“I'm not, but my 16 yo son just got his!”

“85% of FBI agents? Isn't that a little scary?”

“Way to go, Tea.

What was your Eagle project?
(Isn't a project required?)

There's a shelter along the Prividence Canyon Trail, GA, that was built by a scout as his Eagle project.”

“100% of this board's vIoLiN's are Eagle Scouts.”

“What are you signifying by using various combos of capital letters and lower case letters for your name VIOLIN? Is this a special conspiracy code?”

“Congratulations, Tea. Way to go. Now, stop slashing political signs.”

“90% of male homosexuals”

“One of my regrets is I never made Eagle. After I made Life other interests (girls, sports, etc) pulled me away. I had daughters so never got back into Scouting until I was on the volunteer staff at the last two Jamborees in Va. Now that's an awesome experience! Looking forward to 2005.”

“Kongratulayshuns, Eyes! That'z verry kool!”

“I was the world's most pathetic Boy Scout. I never even made Tenderfoot. Yes, you read that right, when I was in, you had to earn Tenderfoot. It took two Skill badges and one Merit badge. I did the stuff for the Skill badges, but was never awarded them. I think I was in for about two years then got out because I just felt like I didn't belong. Pathetic.

Anyway, I still had a few good times, so it wasn't a complete loss, plus it was my introduction to backpacking. I mostly just wish I had been a little more dedicated.”

“Way to go Tea!”

“Not to pick on bitpusher but…

When I was in scouts it was considered a little nerdy and uncool. So you weren’t even up to that?

No wonder you went into computers.”

“I had no motivation to excel whatsoever, plus I was really more into band and orchestra than Scouting. Plus, I joined late, so the guys my age were already several steps ahead of me, since they had already been in Scouts a few years. It was a small troop, there weren't any other Scouts at my level, yada yada yada. To be honest, I didn't really want to join, I was pressured into it. So it's no wonder I wasn't any good at Scouting.”

“The band thing explains it all.”

“yeah yeah yeah.”

“Congratulations Tea - I'll raise a glass to you, but there's no time to sit on your laurels, NOW YOU MUST SET THE WORLD ON FIRE!!!!

(not literally, of course!)”

“Biography:
My adventure in scouting started when I was in 2nd grade, 1995. Our present scoutmaster visited our classroom, asked the ladies to be excused, and spoke to us about scouting. The following week I joined Cub Scouts; Pack5. By 1997 I earned the Arrow of Light Award, the highest award bestowed upon a cub scout, and the Weblos badge. At the start of the next scouting season, I would be a Boy Scout and set my eyes on the coveted Eagle Scout Award. During 1997, I achieved rank of tenderfoot, assistant patrol leader, and attended summer camp at Camp NoBeBoSco. By 1998, I was a 1st class scout and camped at NoBeBoSco, Alpine and a BSA Catholic retreat. I accelerated my scouting experiences during 1998-1999 to include a canoe trek through the Adirondacks out of Rollins Pond High Adventure Base Camp and a counselor in training at Camp NoBeBoSco. In the summer of 2000, I prepared for a trek through New Mexico with the Philmont High Adventure Camp. I also was employed as a counselor at Camp NoBeBoSco. Here I earned the staff member of the week award. I continued to work towards my Eagle Award to present day.

Eagle Project
I decided to paint the 2 main corridors of Holy Trinity Convent, which were in desperate need of maintenance. This was a large-scale project that included painting, chipping away old paint, spackling, sanding, and priming totaling 200 hours of work.
