Many Cub Scouts dream of the day when they are being sworn in as an Eagle Scout, and PHS junior Tyler Wilson got to realize that dream.
For about nine years, Tyler has worked very hard as a scout to get to the rank of an Eagle Scout. It all started back when he was seven years old and he had finally decided to be a Cub Scout; four years later, he joined the Boy Scouts.
Achieving Eagle Scout status is very hard work because you really need to be dedicated to what you are doing. “It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and time. Your parents need to be involved a lot,” explained Tyler. There are very few scouts that will achieve the rank of an Eagle Scout. “Very few people actually go on; I was actually the only person in my Cub Scouts to even go on to Boy Scouts,” said Tyler. This accomplishment can mean very much to any scout because to be given this rank can show anyone what you can achieve. “This means a lot; I’m one of only a few people. They said that only 3%-4% of all Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts,” explained Tyler. “I feel as though I am one of the few people in this country to be given the rank of an Eagle Scout,” said Tyler.
This accomplishment is very big for anyone because it shows how much devotion Tyler has to what he has been doing for the past nine years. It took a lot of hard work, commitment, time, and support, but because of Tyler’s dedication, he’s one of the few, proud Eagle Scouts.
