shortridge 184 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A truly inspiring story. After 26 years of work, at age 69, man with cerebral palsy becomes an Eagle Scout: http://ow.ly/3HUfn Link to post Share on other sites

UCEagle72 10 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 While this is a "story" today - until 1955 adult scout leaders could earn the Eagle Scout Award -- as adults. (I have heard of some granted after 1955, but that was when the BSA basically stopped the practice.) Link to post Share on other sites
jhankins 10 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That is so awesome! Stories like this are heart warming. I have the privilege of working with a gentleman who received his Eagle at 35 (with an age waiver). He's the light of any event he attends and his cheerful heart and service is an example to all. I gain much by serving with him. Link to post Share on other sites
