I was in a Wheelchair do to surgery called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy and it's an uncomfortable and painful surgery. The doctors was hopeful to walk with only a Cain. But it left me Wheelchair bound. And I was in a little nutshell and didn't socialize with anybody. I was like a Hermit Crab hibernating in my room. I still do sometimes but I get out as much as I could. I was facing challenges everyday my friends. And I would like you to get my book and read it. I have a paperback coming along with the eBook edition of the book.
I wouldn't be a man who I am today if it wasn't for my parents. My mother was there with me the whole time giving me her love and support to become an Eagle Scout.
Every Mountian We Face
Back in 2005 if my
mother didn’t get me into the Boy Scouts. I
wouldn’t have been a man who I am today. Mr. Owney was a good Scoutmaster and he took me under his wing. The guy took me
as his son and he took care of me. I asked him to be at my Court of
Honor last year on April 12th
2015. And my father was planning on getting married around that
time. But my stepmother Ursula Muller Baker had
gotten hurt as I was working on my Eagle project.
He had called me and said that he’s getting married in November and
that he would like me to come out to Arizona to be
best man. Good thing he got married on November 1st instead.
Because I didn’t want to pospone my Court of Honor. I’ve
packed the place with 140 people. I am proud to be an Eagle Scout and
I am proud to be called an Eagle Scout. I
relyed on my Scoutmaster each and every day.
Your Scoutmaster is the only one you rely on
each and every day. When you rely on your Troop you will
get all the help as you could. I have looked up to my Scoutmaster
everyday. He gave me his love and support to help me become a man who I am
today. Becoming an Eagle Scout is
the toughest part.
History
of the making
There’s nobody out there who does what I
did in the Boy Scouts. I took my job seriously and
I made every meeting most likely. But some of the meeting I had to miss because
of homework. Depends on how much homework I had to do I got them done. But I
got my homework done before Mom got home from work. After I get my homework
done I went to the meeting. I used to walk over after Physical
Therapy but sometimes I went straight home because I had to get my
homework done. But I got it done before I left the house. I used to take the Medicade Taxi sometime Grandpa took
me. How many Boy Scouts purchase and install
an AED Defibrillators for Veterans? But I
did most of the work as my mother helped. Without her I wouldn’t be an Eagle Scout and I wouldn’t be in the History
Books today. That’s why I am writing this book is to encourage
people to follow my footsteps. I would like young men who
are in the Boy Scouts get a chance to accomplish
their dreams. I know a majority of boys who drop out the first year of Scouting.
Staying
Up Until 2am
As I was preping for my Court of Honor my Mother stayed up late until Midnight. She
helped me make the bulletins for the Ceremony. I was
already in bed by the time that she was working on some stuff on her work
computer. She works for Blue Cross Blue Sheild and
she’s been there for twelve years. And she’s still going because she’s a tough
old broad. I don’t know how she does it all these years. But being a Scout mother for Ten years I don’t know how she did it. I
know that she got me through the ups and downs. There were some bumps on the
road along the way of becoming an Eagle Scout. I
wouldn’t know what to do without my mother being there for me for the past Ten
years of my career. I know for that some boys don’t make a career out of it.
Drop Outs
When these boys join the Cub Scouts they don’t last long. They don’t like the
structer of the Boy Scout program. It’s the rules
and the discapline that the boys don’t like. They don’t like the rules that
much. Why? Because the Boy Scouts give
the boys the discipline that they need that they don’t get at home. And they
just don’t get it. They get away with things that they’re not supposed to. It
bothers me that these kids don’t get the concept of the Boy Scout program.
They don’t want the structor that they’re father can’t give them. You have to
listen to your Scoutmaster as you have to listen
to your Father. Because he’s a Father Figure that you have. When you look up to your Scoutmaster he will guide you. He will show you step by step
to overcome obstacles which your face. I loved Mr. Owney and
always will. He got me out my comfort zone when
we were on a row boat together. I had to tip the boat over which to get the Merit Badge. I wimped out on tipping the boat over. He said “You can do it Nick but you have to overcome your fear.” And
I did overcome it and I did tip that boat over.
You’re
attitude’s like an aroma of your heart, if your attitude’s stink your heart’s
not right. – Coach Michelle from Facing the Giants
But I remember Mr. Owney saying
the same exact thing to me on that boat. I encourage you all to overcome that
fear. When you don’t overcome that fear and you have a stuck up attitude on
you. Nothing will happen. You won’t get anywhere and I talked about that in my
article that I wrote two years ago. I had that quote that I have on top in that
Magazine article that I published in the
Pine Bush Quarterly. My buddy John E. Kidd published the article for me. I messaged the
guy on Facebook and asked him to publish the
article for me. I am glad that he published the article in the Pine Bush Quarterly. I published it again in the Boy’s Life and got paid $40 for the
book. I was shocked when I got paid for the article. All I did was submitte the
article to the website and they published it. I cashed the sucker right in that
day I got it in the mail from the Boy Scouts of America. I
got a nice letter from them saying that the readers around
the world liked it. The reason why I write books and articles because I would like
to help boys with Disabilities get an approtunity
to chase their dreams. I published an article called Disabilities
Is No Obstacle For High Adventure. And it was published twice. I ask
God every day if somebody could make a
movie about my story. I remember back in 2012 around the
winter time. I was going into the second year of Culinary
School at Orange Ulster Boces. I
had a young man named Danny Walker. He
came up to me one day and asked me for help. I told him that it’s never too
late to become an Eagle Scout and that I would get
him and extention. I talked to my Scoutmaster Jim
Stagliano about it. And he said that he will talk to the council.
That same week his mother went up to my Assistant Scoutmaster his
name is Rich Satinello and he talked to her. He
told me not to say anything to the kid. I said “I already
talked to him this morning in Boces and he asked me to get him an extention.” But
he came up to me the following day and said that he got it. I was so proud of
the kid for getting an extention. I love Danny like he’s
my own brother. His family is a very nice people and his mother kept on
thanking me. And that she appreciated that I am there for him.
Helping
Others
Since I met Danny he
said that he is a Boy Scout and he asked me how we
met. I told him that we met at the 100th
Anniversary camp out. I had a great time on that Camporee with the band and the fireworks. All of those Events that went on he was there with his troop. One day in
class he had his Merit Badge book with him. I
helped him with his Merit Badge. I
am lucky to have a young man in my life. I loved Danny as
he was my own brother. I talk to the kid once in the bluemoon. It’s always good
to stay in touch with the boy. Boy Scouts of America is
the most important program. You help those who needs help. And you be there for
those who ned you. I’ve always been there when people needed me. I would like
to encourage you to follow my footsteps.
Historic
Work of an Eagle Scout
When you’re working toward your Eagle Scout there is nobody out there who will do what you
do. There will be people who may want to follow your footsteps. I’ve purchased
an installed an AED Defibrillator for the Pine Bush Catholic War Veterans Hall in Pine Bush
New York. I held a Filet Mignon Dinner for
my Fundraiser. I filled up the place with 140 People. And I filled it up with the same amount at my Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Is History being
made everyday? Of course my friend. Back in 1922 there is 2,000 boys became Eagle Scouts. But it’s amazing how many boys became Eagle Scouts each year. The numbers goes up each year. The
record will break as the year goes by. History is
being made every day when you work toward your Eagle Scout
Rank. When you choose a project that you want to work on. You have
to choose what nobody has done yet. That’s why I am writing this book because I
would like you to understand what is going to happen and what might happen.
The Challenging Piece
I’ve faced a few challenges as I was
working toward my Eagle Scout Rank. I’ve always
found ways to overcome the challenges. I love the Boy Scout program
and I enjoyed going camping. I remember my first camping trip with the Boy Scouts and learning how to walk with crutches for the
first time in my life since my surgery. I was in West Point at
the time. I was on the trail with a couple of guys. My former Scoutmaster Mike Owney was watching me walk. He stood behind
me on the trail to make sure that I don’t fall. “Nick do you
need a break? Asked Mr. Owney. “No I am good.” I
told Mr. Owney and I pushed myself so hard I warn myself out. I went to Physical Therapy and I was falling asleep. Fritz was talking
to Mr. Owney and said “Mike he needs to take
minimal steps each time.” But at my Eagle Court
of Honor he was talking about it. Yes I am a tough cookie and don’t
take a no for an answer. But I was originally going to install a Wheelchair
swing at the park in Pine Bush. That got turned down by the council. Then I went
back to Physical Therapy and this guy Ray said “I have a project for you.” I looked at the guy and said “What’s that?” He laughed and said “The VFW or
local businessess needs an AED Defibrillator.” I was thinking of the
Veterans and what I’ve told them a five years before on Memorial
Day. “Why not the Catholic War Veterans next door.” I told the guy
as I with a smile on my face. My assistant Scoutmaster Rich
Satinello looked at me like I was insane. I went on line and looked at the
Cabinets for the Defrillator and the price was $253.00 of the cabinet. I texted Mike and I gave him the
price. “I talked to Mr. Gill and he wants the cabinet to
match the bar.” Said Mike. I put it in the back of the bar at the Catholic War Veterans Hall. But Mr. Owney built the cabinet
at his house before he put it in the wall. I am looking forward to seeing what
will happen as the year goes by. My mother helped me along the way. She’s the
one who got me into the Boy Scouts. And
she fought to get me this far of becoming an Eagle Scout.
She worked so hard to help me get passed the obstacles. I’ve heard
that Grandpa Springborn is an Eagle Scout. I
know that he’s proud of me for getting this far. There are times that I wish
that he was still alive. My uncles were in the Boy Scouts and
I’ve heard stories about them. Grandpa Springborn was a Scoutmaster of
my Uncle’s troop. My Grandfather Joseph Rohe was a Cub
Scoutmaster. When I was hosted the Filet Mignon
Dinner. Jim Gill said “Can all the Scoutmasters
come up for a picture taking?” Grandpa was in the picture as well
along with other guys. But I had a great time that day.
This is the picture that was taken at the
dinner. My buddy John E. Kidd from the Pine Bush Quarterly had published this picture in the Pine Bush Quarterly Magazine that week. I wouldn’t forget
the fun times.
This picture was
taken as I was waiting for everybody to come. But I had a great time that day.
My uncle Dennis came and hungout with us. I went through a lot of tough times
along the way. There are bumps that you hit each and every day. But we’ve been
focusing on the importance of the program. Like what I wrote in my other book.
I mentioned that you have to wear your Eagle Scout Medal proudly.
And you should be proud of being an the hard work you’ve done. When you’re in
the brotherhood and that blood is running through your veigns. You’re blood
related to other people that you barely know. You don’t need to have the same
mother to be blood related. But you could be blood related in the Eagle Scout brotherhood. You can’t change your mind of
becoming an Eagle Scout. Why? Because the Eagle Blood is already in you.
Eagle
Blood
In my last book I barely talked about the Eagle Blood. And the purpose of the blood and why we’re
brothers. We’re brothers and sister in the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we’ve been
focusing on avoiding the obstacles which we face. Our brotherhood is very
special my friends. And I’m proud to be in the brotherhood. What makes this
brotherhood special to me? Meeting other Eagle Scouts around
the world on Facebook and in Public when I go to the stores or the mall with my family. I
met some Eagle Scouts at my church. It’s amazing
how many of them I’ve met. Being an Eagle Scout is
a good feeling to have in your life. It’s a life changing experience. And your
life will not be the same.
That’s
the Catholic War Veterans and the boys are
setting up the chairs. There’s a glimps of my little brother Zachary when he
was six years old. He’s not my blood related brother but through marriage. It’s
a beautiful place and I love it there. I had it catered by Loughran’s
Irish Pub. I had an open bar for everybody because it wasn’t a Boy Scout Event. It was an Veteran
Event because it was for them. And I did the project for them.
I was talking to the
DJ who took over for Mrs. Gill while she was away. But when she came in with
her stuff he left. And the boys from the troop is in the back talking. They’re
helping out getting the back table ready. I had it on March 8th
2014. I was expecting my causin Nicole to come that day. But she had
to go back to college for a Relay for Life Event
at her school. But she came to the Court of Honor. I
wasn’t disappointed with Nicole for not coming to the Filet Mignon
Dinner. It was a pleaser having her at the Court of
Honor. She hung up the baloons around
each and every table. Aunt Lisa made the Chocolate Lolipops as
center pieces.
Hanging out with the
caterer Jimmy Loughran. And talking about how the Boy Scouts has
made the difference in my life. I gave him a good tip after. And he gave the
money to the veterans for their Defibrillator. It
was a Phillips that we’ve ordered. My
Grandparents came and helped out as well. Grandma was there before Grandpa was.
She went home to get dressed and she came back with Grandpa later on. I
wouldn’t know what to do without them. They’ve been apart of my life for 24
years and I’ve been grateful that they helped me become an Eagle Scout.
This was challenging but I found a way to overcome it. After I got
home I worked on my workbook and filled out the form. I’ve always gotten the
job done. Who does what I do in the Boy Scouts? There’s
nobody out there who does what I do.
Making
history in the Boy Scouts is most important thing to do. – Written in How
Scouting Changed My Life
When you read my last
book you will see that I wrote it in there. But when I went to Canada to go Dog Sledding my team is the cornerstone in History. Why is that? Because I had my leg crushed under the
sled. I had the medal braket on my leg braces bent. But my Scoutmaster Jim
Stagliano pulled the sled off my leg. But I had a great time that week.
You
can’t make History without getting your leg pinned under the Dog Sled. – Written in How
Scouting Changed My Life
I also wrote that in my other book and it’s
important to understand the purpose of making History. This
is an Historic Event that I’ve been through. I’ve
been through other Events like that when I was in the Boy Scouts. I
was at Camp Tuscarora and they had more boys
than I ever saw in the History of the Jamborees that I’ve been to. It’s amazing how many boys
showed up at that camp. Jesus was in
the Wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights without food and water. Matthew 4:10 says ‘Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you,a Satan!
For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only
you shall serve.” And
that’s what you should do when you hear negative voices in your head. You will
encounter challenges that you don’t want to face at all. You will be climbing
mountains that you don’t want to climb. I’ve faced a lot of challenges along
the way. When you pray and ask God for help
all you got to do is look up and look left. Jesus said to
his Disciples in Luke 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek,
and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.”
But it’s important to ask God what is the
next step. He will tell you what needs to be done. I am grateful to have a
friend in Jesus because he’s the one who I rely
on. I know it’s weird having scriptures in a Boy Scout book.
But it’s important to understand how important it is to avoid all of the
troubles. I remember when I was working toward my Eagle Scout project.
I remember all the weight that was on my shoulders. The Boy Scout oath
is “On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to
God and my country, to obey the Scout law. To help other people at all times.
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” And
that’s why I put the scriptures in this book. Because you’re doing your duty to
God and it’s unusual for an Eagle Scout to write scriptures in his book.
Courage is being
scared to death, but saddling up anyway. – John Wayne
That’s always been one of my favorite John Wayne Quotes. I always went by that quote. And I
recommend you guys to go by that quote and go on with it.
Obstacle
Courses in Boy Scouts
There
are a lot of obstacle courses which you face each and every day. I always found
ways to overcome them. Whenever you’re working on your project there’s obstacle
courses that you face. Becoming an Eagle Scout is
very challenging for young men with Disabilities. I’ve
always had my Scout leaders with me along the
way. My parents were always there for me. I am proud to be an Eagle Scout in Pine Bush Troop 37 in
Pine Bush New York. Because that Eagle Blood was already in my veins.
I felt the blood running through my veins since I’ve started planning my
project. Rich said “I would like to help you
get to Eagle.” And I’ve been through two other projects until I
heard about the AED Defibrillator from a local
Fireman. I’ve felt chills running through my spin that day. But God was telling me something that night in my bedroom when I
lived in Bloomingburg. Even the Bloomingburg Fire Department wanted me to become an Eagle Scout. My buddy Brian “Bobo” Shaw
encouraged me to follow his footsteps. My buddy John Corrine who was captain at
the time said that he was willing to give me a hand with what I do. I’ve called
him and met up with him at the drills that they did in the trailer park. But
every Wednesday night we met and sat down and talked about it. I had to change my
address when my mother and I moved to Port Jervis with
my stepfather. The address on the workbook was originally 1 White
Birch Trail and we’ve changed it to 31 Hamilton
Street. I’ve went through all the hard work changing the
addresses. That wasn’t the hard work but
the hard work was the budgeting part. I challenge all you encourage a boy who
is troubled.
ECCLESIASTES 8:4-5 NKJV
Where the word of a king id,
there is power; And who may say to him, “What are you doing?” He who keeps his command
will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man’s heart discerns both time and
judgment.
What does that scripture supposed to
mean? It supposed to mean that you must act like a Scout and
you can’t judge others. But I understand that it’s difficult to not judge.
Scout Oath
On My Honor: being honored to do things for
your neighbors or your family.
I will do my best: Trying your best to get your
chores done around the house. Or trying your best to avoid obstacles or
challenges which you face.
To do my
Duty: doing chores around the house or making dinner.
To God: Doing the works
of God and encouraging others to follow their dreams. And helping others to
know who God is within them to become a better person.
And My
Country: obeying the law of your country. And doing the hard
work as a citizen to make sure your neighbors are taken care of.
To Obey
The Scout Law: Not Judging other people. And acting like a true Boy
Scout to help others to become a man who they want to become.
To Keep
Myself Physically Strong: That means to stay strong and
being brave. Don’t give up on chasing a dream of becoming an Eagle Scout
someday.
Mentally
Awake: Staying awake and alert of danger, or seeing what’s
coming ahead of you. And focusing on what’s important to you to become young
men.
Morally
Straight: Not being Gay or Homosexaul. And respect other
people’s privacy.
Finding
the Truth
But what I just wrote on top is what I
wrote in my other book. I want you to be reminded of the oath and what the
importance of it. I would like you to see the future and seeing what is going
to happen. This is a Christian organization
and we do our duty to the man upstairs. But I understand that you’ve been
focusing on a lot of challenges my friends. I ask that you look at the
important view on the Boy Scout program.
What is my most fears? “Failure” is my
fears in the Boy Scouts. I am afraid of
failing, not to myself but to others.
Job
40:20:22 NKJV
Surely the
mountains yield food for him, And all the beast of the field play there. He
lies under the lotus trees, In a convert of reeds and marsh. The lotus trees
cover him with him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him.
Like what I said before it’s weird about
having scriptures in a Boy Scout book.
But the scriptures talk about Survival. I
would like to encourage you all to read your Bible. I’ve
said this before to the boys in my Troop that the Bible and
the Boy Scout Hand Book have the same thing
in common. If you read from the book of Genesis and the
book of Revelation you will see what you will
see in the Bible. You will read this in my other
book that I wrote is that Lord Baden Powell is
not the founder of the Boy Scouts. The
one who found it was Jesus. Why?
Because he spent 40 Days and 40 Nights in
the Wilderness. It’s amazing what you will
see in the Bible and the Boy Scout
Handbook.
John 6:26-27
NKJV
says Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because
you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.” Do not
labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to
everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father
has set His seal on Him.”
But is there Gender in Heaven? The
answer is no there is not. There is no man and no woman in Heaven. I
understand that no matter what we do. There will be bumps in the road. We hit
bumps and we face challenges that we can’t find a way to overcome obstacles. I
know that God will open new doors for you. I have Cerebral Palsy and I always found ways to overcome the
challenges that I face. It scares me that we obstacles always finds me. I
always looked up to my Scoutmaster and
he helped me. I wouldn’t be a man who I am today. You must find ways to climb
that mountain. It’s not easy to overcome the obstacles. How do we keep moving
forward if there’s obstacles which we face each and everyday?
Psalm
71:10-12NKJV
For my enemies
speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is non to deliver
him.” O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
There will be people who will mock you and
laugh at you for wearing your uniform in school. You’re trying to represent Boy Scouts in your school by wearing your uniform. That’s
what I did in school because I could have boys be in the program. I understand
that each and everyone of you feel like you’re not good enough. You don’t have
to be good enough to become an Eagle Scout. You
just be who you are and roll with the flow. I know that we’ve been facing
challenges all the long. Our boys don’t know the purpose of the program. “But Nick I’ve been facing obstacles and how can I climb that
mountain?” Let go of the nagative thoughts and find out how to
overcome the challenges. “Nick I’m a cripple and I
can’t climb that mountain.” No you that’s a wrong voice to listen
to. But when you have a goal to becoming an Eagle Scout you
will see the difference. I know that we’ve been facing difficulties a lot but
we always found a way to overcome them.
1 KINGS
5:3-4 NKJV
You know how my
father David could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because
of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the Lord put his foes
under the soles of his feet. But now the Lord my God has given
me rest on every side; there is neotjer adversary nor evil occurrence.
Love And
Support
My mother stayed up until 2am to get ready
for my Court of Honor. I wouldn’t be the man
that I am today without my mother. She’s always been apart of my life through
out my scouting life. I know that Mom loves me with her whole heart. “Your mother moves heaven and earth for you.”Said Darren.
There are times that I don’t realize it. But I should realize it. Without your
mother being there for you. What good is it not to realy on her? She’s the only
person who will do things for you. My mother gave me her love and support with when
I was working toward my Eagle. I
wouldn’t know what to do without her. What kind of mother staies up that late?
You have to realize that a perfect relationship leads to a healthy
relationship. My Father talked to me every week checking in on me about my
project. And now things are going with the rank. I always wanted to become an Eagle Scout. And I finally made it up that far.
A Mother is the only way to
becoming an Eagle Scout. She’s the key and your only hope
But I know that you
will always love your mother. When you look up to her and ask her for guidence
and she will give you all that guidence. She will do what’s best to help you
become an Eagle Scout and help you become a man
that you want to be. A man should be lucky and grateful to have a woman who
does things that my mother did. I’m hoping that other women will follow her
footsteps. And use the same technique that my mother used. Just like following
the leader. “What do I do next Nick?” If you do what
I did five years ago as I was planning on my Eagle Scout project.
You will see the difference in your life. You will become a man who you want to
become. It’s important to allow your parents guide you and help you. I’ve gone Dog Sledding back in the year of 2010 that
was six years ago. My aunt was married for five years now since 2011. My father’s been out there since that day. I announced
that I was working toward my Eagle Scout and
that I’m planning on becoming one that year. In the year of 2012 when I was in Boces for Culinary. I was planning my Eagle Scout project.
In the Summer of 2013 the week before graduating
from Orange Ulster Boces I found out about
the AED Defibrillator. My buddy Ray whose a firefighter mentioned it to me in Physical Therapy. That fall I met up with Jimmy Loughran the owner of Loughran’s
Irish Pub in Sulibury Mills NY. He
catered my Filet Mignon Dinner for me at the Catholic War Veterans in the town of Pine Bush,
NY. I enjoyed the dinner and spending time with people. When I’m at
the Tri-State Family Christian Center (Stop, Hop &
Roll) I hangout with the kids. This is amazing how many new
people who I met. My Scoutmaster has
been there for me since day one. I encourage you all to do what’s best to
becoming a man who you want to become. The Boy Scouts will
change lives from the inside out. I was in the wheelchair and I started walking
again. How many Disabled Scouts gets a chance to
learn how to walk again after surgery.
NEHEMIAH
13:22 NKJV
And I commanded
the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and
guard the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning
this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your mercy!
The Boy Scouts of America is a type of program that will cleanse
you. The structor will help you become stronger and better. You must focus on
the importance of your life. Focus on how to overcome your challenges and
fears. It’s easy just to give up on things that hasn’t started yet. Becoming a
man is huge responsibility. If you make a mistake, you learn from it. You keep
fighting that good fight my friends. You can’t give up on the things that you
want to do in life. I am proud to be an Eagle Scout. I
am proud to be in the brotherhood. But I know that there will be boys out there
that will follow my lead. They will someday become and Eagle Scout.
I wouldn’t be the man that I am today without the love and support
of my family. My beautiful Stepmother gave
me the courage. Between two beautiful women in my life giving me their love and
support, I wouldn’t be this far.
Courage
of a Stepparent
There are a marjority of Boy Scouts at the rank of Life Scout look
up to their stepparents. But I always looked up to them including my biological
parents. I have two stepparents who love me and I have two parents who love me.
You have people who love you and give you their full support of chasing your
dream. Your dream will come to pass when you allow the father to do his job.
The father is the only hope you
got, because his angels opens up new doors of the heavens.
You must look up to
him my friends and allow him to do his job and allowing to be the best heavenly
father there is that you looked up to in the world. But you will see the
difference in your life when you don’t allow God to
do the dirty work for you. He’s your father and he will take the weight off
your shoulders piece by piece everyday.
Merit Badge Requirments
Your family is the most important
people in your life to help you become who you want to be in the nor future
Knowing how much your family loves you they
will move heaven and earth for you. They will do anything in their power to
help you succeed in life and see the difference. It’s important to see the
difference in your life. Becoming an Eagle Scout is
very challenging my friends and it’s not an easy task to follow. You will be
having a rough time when you don’t focus on what’s important to you.
To become
a man
Being in the Boy Scouts gives you the discipline and take you out of your
comfort zone. It’s just like being in the Military my
friends. You have the whole Troop on top of
you and making sure that you don’t screw up or screw anybody over. That’s the
purpose of the program. It’s to teach you the knowledge of becoming a new
person. And that will lead you into Adulthood. Your children, Grandchildren and
Great Grandchildren will be following your footsteps.They will become Eagle Scouts someday. You teach them to be Scouts and show them the full Knowledge
that they need.
Following
Your Heart
When you follow your heart you will feel
the difference. You will understand the full meaning to the program. The reason
why I am writing this book to prepare you when you do become Eagle Scouts. There are bumps in the road along the way. The
good bumps are the ones that you is just a small crack in
the road. But the bad bumps are the ones that you have to be carefull. Why?
Because it’s a pothole or a sink hole. You don’t want to go down that path
anyway. To go places is to follow your heart and listen to it. Because it’s a GPS that will get you to you distination. You need that to
take you to where you belong. It’s hard to go down the path that you want to go
down. You have to listen to the direction from your heart.
Your heart’s like a compass that
will take you to where you belong, it’s your best friend to rely on to get you
to where you need to be.
If you use your heart
as a compass and use your tolls that God has given
you. Being lost won’t be an option. I always used my heart as a compass.
