I received my Eagle in October and aged out in November of 2014, and I can say with complete faith that getting my Eagle was one of the best decisions I ever made. And now I want to be able to take the leap, to go over the edge. I've got two years experience with rock climbing, and this is a once in a lifetime experience that I've always thought I'd never get a chance to do. Provided I can reach $500 in donations, I'll be able to do just that, but ultimately I'd like to be able to help give back to BSA by raising $1000. I hope you'll help me reach my goal!

Short and simple guys, my local council is doing a fundraiser, where if you raise $500 you get to repel off the side of a 15 story building. I'm trying to put this in as many places as I can so I can raise enough money to be able to go over the edge, but the entire reason is to raise money for BSA so they can continue to teach young boys how to later become well-equipped men. As someone who has been a member of BSA since I was 7, I can fully attest that a lot of the people who enter BSA and achieve their eagle, end up being really solid, stand-up guys.



Provided I am able to go over the edge, I'll see if I can aquire a go-pro or some way to film me repelling off the side of the building. If that's still not possible, I've got some friends who have some high-grade filming equipment and I'm close with one of my CTE teachers at school, who would probably PAY to see me fall to my death repel off the side of a building. All funds will go to BSA, which then affects future generations of scouters. I'll see about setting up some way to track how much money I've raised as things progress, but at the moment I don't really have a lot of information to share with you guys.

Pardon the goofy helmet, I'll see about getting a selfie tomorrow to replace that. I really don't have a lot of pictures of me...

Hey I'm an Eagle Scout.  Are we bros now?

pretty much

I don't know what to do for the friggin' pic on the profile. Should I just be sitting in my backyard and go for like the all-american boy with my golden retriever? Should I wear casual clothes or should I wear my uniform? Should I wear jeans or khakis?

too many decisions
