skeptic 1000 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Have waited a long time for someone in the family to complete his Eagle. Neither nephew did, nor my brother. But, the son of my older nephew has done it in spades. He will be presented the award on Saturday evening in Orange County. His project was making a special video to help families understand and cope with the challenges of a child in CHOC. He not only worked to do the the film, but also obtained the equipment and donated it to them. This has led to his further interest in film as a possible vocation, and he has since won honors for student film work at his high school. Hope to get a photo of him and me together to enter in the family list in the NESA Magazine. Link to post Share on other sites

qwazse 4348 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Some grandpas in our neighborhood are gonna be stoked as well. Got two this weekend. Your grandson's project sounds like something I wished one of our boys would have done. The park he fixed up was nice, but a little removed from his talents and interests.

Curious which unit's ceremony you will be at (in case it is the same one I am attending)For whatever reason, cannot PM you; not authorized. It is at the Las Flores School on Antonio Pkwy tomorrow. His name is Kathan. Link to post Share on other sites
WAKWIB 107 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Glad you finally get to celebrate the scouting accomplishments of a family member. Always a good time! His project sounds first-rate. I always enjoy hearing about a project that goes a different direction than the usual building/remodeling project. Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3688 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Congratulations to your grand nephew. Maybe he will consider making Follow Me Boys 2 for a future film project I googled CHOC = Childrens Hospital of Orange County? Link to post Share on other sites

Nope - different Orange County ceremony. Mine is in Irvine. Congrats to the lad - sounds like a great project. Link to post Share on other sites

One of his uncles on his mother's side is a doctor there, and helped him set it up. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 1000 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 All went well, and was a real sharing of scouting and family fellowship followed with an outstanding barbecue. Seems he will continue to aid his troop as he is able, though he will be a senior and is a full bore A.P. student. Thanks to all that offered congratulatory words. Link to post Share on other sites
