BSA Eagle Scout Service Project Award

This weekend I went to a reception at the Capital Area Council’s Fickett Center to listen to keynote speaker Burton Roberts talk about how Scouting has influenced his career in television production, which interests me. This was also an opportunity to see my name engraved amongst the other class of 2021 Eagle Scouts on the Eagle Wall outside the Fickett Center and to receive a limited-edition Eagle Scout commemorative challenge coin. That was more than enough honors for a Saturday morning, so I was surprised when Jon Yates, the Scout Executive of the Capital Area Council, called out my name to receive the Capital Area Council’s Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award. This award is given each year to one of many Eagle Projects completed across 15 counties of Central Texas, so it was a huge honor for my film Shining a Light on Teen Vaping to be selected. I hope that this award will help to have the film shown at BSA Troop meetings across Central Texas.
