It's swimming with the dolphins down in Florida somewhere. One of my brothers did it once. I'm sure there is much more to it than that, but that was what made him excited. The other attended Philmont once. They both went canoeing in the boundary waters of Minnesota once as well- is that Northern Tier?

Lots of different sea adventures from which a troop chooses their top 3 and then are assigned one of those 3.

Tonight our son became an Eagle. :) Thank you all for your support and opinions!

BOR or COH?

Congratulations to your son, Carnation!
Our son has certainly found achieving that rank as meant loads of self confidence...and admission to a distinctive fraternity of sorts. Eagle Scouts do look out for each other.;)
Here is Seabase's web site: http://www.bsaseabase.org/
It's a high adventure camp with the emphasis on water activities. We stopped by the base on Islamorada Key in June on our vacation in the Keys. That part is tiny, but there are additional facilities and activities on other islands. It sounds wonderful...ah, if I were 25 years younger...:rolleyes:

Congratulations Carnation! Your son has achieved something many of us are proud of! Wear THAT pin with pride, too!

Congrats to him and you!!

It hit me when showing my husband this thread...Carnation's decision to encourage her son to pursue a particular Boy Scout Troop is what started the entire discussion. Now he's a member of the truly elite group of men and soon-to-be-men who bear the rank of Eagle Scout! Things tend to come full-circle. Congratulations again...

Congratulations! I hope he thanked YOU for all of your support!

Our son had his Eagle Scout Court of Honor tonight. He is the youngest Scout in his troop's history to earn the Eagle. On to many, many Palms since he already has 60 badges at the ripe old age of 14.5.

Kudos to your son! (and a bunch to you, too!):D

Congratulations to you and your son, alum! He sounds like an outstanding teenager! :)

Congrats to your son, alum!!

Congratulations Alum!
