NJEagle1973 10 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I've been asked to intro an Eagle candidate at his BOR. What do I say? Is this a chance to provide my recommendation? Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutmaster Ron 12 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just a simple who you are and who the candidate is. Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I try to make it a bit of an ice breaker for the candidate. While we're waiting in the hall, I crack jokes and give him a little pep talk. When we're called in, I introduce all the board members and have the Scout shake hands. Execpt for the district representative, he's likely known all these people since he was a Tiger, but it gets everyone up and talking. I take about 30 seconds to introduce the candidate with highlights from his resume. I use the Scout's individual history report from TroopMaster for a cheat sheet -- he joined our pack as a Tiger and earned the Arrow of Light. He's been to Philmont and NYLT. He's served X, Y and Z leadership positions. If it's appropriate, I may tell a quick story about something the Scout has done. Yes, I usually end by recommending the young man to be an Eagle Scout. Not that it's necessary (they have my signature on his application) but it's a nice touch and gives me a good line to exit on. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ditto to what Ron posted. Let the Scout sell himself! Link to post Share on other sites
