Wow, so much has happened in 2023. In our Girls Scouts BSA troop we celebrated our second, third and fourth eagles. The fourth Eagle Scout in our troop was my daughter Keziah. Not only was she the fourth eagle for our troop but the fourth Eagle Scout in our family. She followed in the foot steps of three of her older brothers. Her eagle project was collecting pet products for a local rescues pet pantry and doing an adoption event with them.
This was part of the collections for the pet pantry.
This is a photo of one of the dogs that was up for adoption and the event.
In between Keziah's project and when she earned Eagle Scout she finishes up a couple merit badges and worked at summer camp. When Keziah earned her Eagle Scout she had also earned seven Eagle Palms, meaning she had earned 35 more merit badges more than what she needed.
Keziah's Eagle Court of Honor was in early November. We had so much fun putting it all together. Her menu was soups and chili, salads, meat and cheese board, and different topping for the soups and chili.
We did the Scout Law candle ceremony with Bible verses that go with the Law. The candle holder is made from a fallen tree from the Little Sioux Scout Ranch after the tornado that ripped through the Scout Ranch in June of 2008. It was made by one of the former Scoutmasters from the boy's troop.
Her Eagle Court of Honor was such a fun day. She had friends for all over the area come. Friends from all stages of her life came to celebrate. This is one of my favorite photos from her ECOH. Keziah with all of her brothers. They intended for this photo to be silly but I love it.
Some have asked if her scouting time has come to an end. No, it has not, she is only 15! She is currently the Senior Patrol Leader for the troop, and she also holds a leadership position in Order of the Arrow. She plans on staying involved with the troop even after she turns 18 in a few years. We have so many more adventures in scouts.
Until Next Time,
Pitters
