Donald and Tristan’s Eagle Scout ceremony will be part of the COH ceremony on Tuesday (April 22) at PGUMC.
Their families plan to bring a cake and ice cream as part of the celebration.
In addition to achieving the rank of Eagle, Donald will be recognized with the Bronze Eagle Palm award. Eagle Palm Awards are earned by Scouts that meet the following criteria:
Be active in your troop and patrol for at least three months after becoming an Eagle Scout or after award of last Palm. (Eagle Palms must be earned in sequence, and the three-month tenure requirement must be observed for each Palm.)
Demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath (Promise) and Scout Law in your everyday life.
Make a satisfactory effort to develop and demonstrate leadership ability.
Earn five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or last Palm. (Merit badges earned any time since becoming a Boy Scout may be used to meet this requirement.)
