VentureScoutNY 10 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 From the June 7th 2005 New York Post Scout This Out- 80-yr-old Eagle One of New Jersey's newest Eagle Scouts is also the state's oldest. Al Hanson, 80, who missed his initiation when, at age 17, he went off to fight in World War II, was honored last week by a troop in his hometown of Barnegat. "I'm not that young anymore, but it's a great honor and the boys enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it too," Hanson said. YIS Link to post Share on other sites
SeattlePioneer 144 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, then there should be hope for getting my Wood Badge woggles, beads and such. I took the Wood Badge course in 1985, and completed all the requirements on my ticket, but didn't get the award before leaving Scouting in 1987 or so. Last year I signed on again. I think I'll talk to the District Training Chair about this at our District picnic in July! Seattle Pioneer Link to post Share on other sites
