Boy Scout Court of Honor

Twice a year, the Boy Scouts have their Court of Honor Ceremony. James was on the planning committee for the most recent Court of Honor. The 4 boys who were on the planning committee were the "hosts" for the evening.


Here James is at the microphone waiting for his next turn to speak.

James did a wonderful job! 

 James received the rank of Star. After Star rank is Life, then Eagle Scout. Parents are called to stand up with their sons. As his mom, I received a star pin which James pinned to my shirt.

 

 

 

In addition to the achievement of Star Rank, James earned 3 merit badges. Two of these badges are Eagle required. He earned Citizenship in the Community, Astronomy, and Emergency Preparedness.

At the January Court of Honor, James didn't receive any recognitions. This motivated him to complete some of his unfinished merit badges over the summer. He set some goals and did a really good job of completely them with little direction from us. I would ask him "What have you done toward completing your goals this week?" every couple of days. He had to decide what actions to take. We are very proud of our Star Scout!
