Through this blog I hope to show you what I am going through on my trail to eagle. <p />First a little background, I am a 16 year-old star scout. I am the senior patrol leader and webmaster for my troop. I am also heavily involved in the OA lodge as lodge secretary and ceremonies team chairman. I joined scouts in third grade as a bear and have been doing it ever since. In my troop I have also served as troop quartermaster, instructor, and historian in the past.<p /> My hope is to earn my life and eagle ranks in 2010. I am a bit behind on the schedule I had made because of school and the school musical which I had a major role in, but now that it is all done I hope to dive back into scouting. Below is my plan:<p /> February - <br /><ul><li>complete Citizenship in the Nation</li><li>complete Personal Management</li><li>complete scoutmaster&#39;s conference and board of review for life</li><li>attend council life to eagle seminar (when offered)<br /> </li><li>begin hiking (plan hikes, do first aid req&#39;s)</li><li>begin personal fitness<br /></li><li>begin planning project</li></ul>March - <br /><ul><li>present project to troop committee and council committee for approval</li> <li>begin securing supplies, manpower, etc for project</li><li>complete emergency preparedness</li><li>complete citizenship in the world</li><li>continue planning project<br /></li></ul>April - <br /><ul><li>continue merit badges</li> <li>begin project when ready or able or continue planning</li></ul>May - <br /><ul><li>complete personal fitness</li><li>continue project work/planning begin when ready if not already begun</li></ul>June - <br /><ul><li>continue doing project</li> </ul>July - <br /><ul><li>continue/complete hiking</li><li>continue/finish project</li></ul>August - <br /><ul><li>finish paperwork, and remaining requirements</li><li>eagle board of review</li></ul>So how&#39;d I do? I hope that I will be able to keep to this plan and I am going to post weekly progress updates and whenever else I make notable progress. Am I missing anything? let me now in the comments. </p> <p><a href="http://trailtoeagle.posterous.com/blogging-my-trail-to-eagle">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://trailtoeagle.posterous.com/blogging-my-trail-to-eagle#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheTrailToEagle/~4/xRRb8dXMiWA" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/324933/b22a7f74b937e4c1ac3b9c214f9d9aec.jpeg http://posterous.com/users/3sINItI0plZf Kevin Kevin Kevin http://trailtoeagle.posterous.com/blogging-my-trail-to-eagle
