Jackson's Eagle Cour of Honor

Eagle Scout!!
 



“As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad
her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings.” Deuteronomy 32:11 

Jackson's YM leader Bro Kasperson, gave a great analogy of Mother Eagles on the cliff's of Mount Sinai teach their young how to fly. They nestle them up on their backs fly high above the cliffs and then turn just enough where the baby eagle will fall off and start tumbling to the ground.  While the fall is dangerous and hard on the baby eagle this is how they gain strength and become strong enough to fly.  He explained it is very similar to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, it is hard earning those merit badges and doing the many hours of service but through working hard eventually the scout becomes a stronger better young man and is ready to fly.
Jackson choose to give the mentor pin to his dad!  It was a sweet moment for
the both of them when Jackson got very emotional about how much he loves his dad!
Tried to get a picture of the tears but failed!

Please give our congratulations to Jackson!! So proud of him and his great accomplishment. It seems like just yesterday that he and Ryan were little cubs... I still think of Jackson that way, and then look at my 6'3" Ryan and realize that these little boys aren't boys anymore. What a fantastic, exciting day yesterday for your family!

Great job, Jackson! What a wonderful accomplishment in a life that I know will be filled with fantastic milestones and achievements. Most of all I hope you remember that being an Eagle Scout means a lifetime of serving those around you, something that I know your family has trained you to do as just a matter of course.
