BSA National Service Territory Award

Last week I attended the Capital Area Council’s board meeting where I was invited to speak about my Eagle Project to Scout leaders throughout the CAC. I was excited for this opportunity, as I would like to see my film promoted and shown at troop meetings throughout the CAC. When I was introduced, I was also pleasantly surprised when Jon Yates, the Scout Executive of the Capital Area Council, informed the audience that my project had also been selected for the 2022 Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award for the National Service Territory covering Central and South Texas and all of Louisiana. I had already been selected by the CAC for the council award amongst 400 Eagle Service Projects this year, and I don’t know how many more projects are included at the territory level, but it must be in the thousands. This is an amazing honor to receive in addition to speaking about my film Shining a Light on Teen Vaping at the board meeting. I hope that this additional recognition will continue get the word out to Scout leaders to show the film to more BSA Scouts.
