Our first grandson to become an Eagle Scout!

We were so proud of Zachary. His Dad got to give him the award.
 

Zachary gave a nice response.

The scout leader who conducted told this story about Zachary when he was 12. The Scouts were going on a rugged hike and the people in front (including Neil) came to a fork and drew an arrow to the right. Zachary came along behind them and didn't see it and took the wrong fork. So when they all got there and there was no Zachary, they were worried. Meanwhile Zachary realized he was lost. His first thought was to kneel down and pray. He received the comforting feeling that his Dad would soon come for him, which is of course what happened. The faith of a 12-year-old Scout strengthened all of our faith.

Zach is a good example for his younger brother.

I was happy to get a current picture of the whole family.
