Over the past year, my son earned Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. He's been working hard and loving it. For summer camp this year, he chose all merit badges that are Eagle required and he's been to 4 Eagle Court of Honors in the past month so he is feeling very motivated to go far.
My daughter is finishing up the last requirement for her Silver Award in two weeks. Her troop of 7 girls is remodeling a room in the local Ronald McDonald house. Although it's a group project, they each took a section of it and had to raise the money, make the plans, etc. for their piece. Her piece is flooring so she tried to get donations for carpet. She couldn't get a donation so she ended up fund raising to pay for the carpet and did find someone who would donate the installation. They will be putting the room together the 14-16th. It's been quite an undertaking for a bunch of 14 year olds. They've grown a lot while doing it. They've also been cooking a meal at the RMcD house a couple times a semester, planning the meal, buying the groceries, preparing the meal.
