Title: Texas, one of your own just earned his Eagle!
Post by: Mrs. Smith on February 09, 2022, 07:13:53 PM
It's my honor as this young man's shoot boss to announce that the State of Texas and Project Appleseed has a brand new Eagle Scout in our ranks.

Young Patriot (aka Juan Carlos Franco) has been an IIT since February of 2018, at the age of 13.  He attended a number of events as a student prior to that, along with his younger sister and his father, who is also an IIT.  I'm looking forward to putting a Red hat on this young man's head before he heads off to college.  And now that he's an Eagle, that raises the bar!

Congratulations, Young Patriot. You've proven once again that you know very well what you're about.

America needs more young men like Young Patriot.

YP, here's an Appleseed challenge for you: How many of your friends, fellow scouts and classmates can you persuade to come to an Appleseed event this year?

Thank you all. He has grown.up around the scouts and Appleseed they all have a part of this Young Patriot getting his Eagle with 16 50 miler trips. That is more than three months of camping in the field. In his speech he thanked everyone.He said he hopes to be half the man his father is. This of course brought tears to my eyes. I I would try to be a positive role model for both my children . To have loyalty to God country and self. I hope that you all get to cross paths with my son has he is an amazing young man.
