My son received his Life rank at tonight's Court of Honor! We are almost there

I'm really surprised he has stuck with it this long. He's in 9th grade now so he has a while to finish up the Eagle. There are a couple boys in his troop who are seniors this year who are racing to get Eagle done now. I asked my son if he was going to be like them and dilly dally around since he has 3 1/2 years to finish up. He said "Why would I waste my time like that?" I was relieved to hear that!
