My husband was a Boy Scout, earned his Eagle and has been a Scout Leader and Assistant Scout Master for 10 years.
My eldest daughter has been a Girl Scout for 12 years and earned her Gold Award.
My son is a Boy Scout and is earning his Eagle.
And my youngest daughter is both a Girl Scout and a Boy Scout, working towards becoming a “Golden Eagle.”
