Finally an Eagle Scout…

In May we finally had the Court of Honor for Tristin to receive his Eagle Scout Award.

Along with a lot of other boys in our ward. It’s been awhile since they had one. I had to along with some other mothers keep after the leaders to have one.

Anyways Tristin did his Eagle Scout Project actually in Oct of 2012. He put on a Veteran’s Day celebration for Veteran’s living in an assistant living center. He had program with music and stories, refreshments and gave them all a wooden plaque with an American Flag. But moving on, this is what I came up for the court of honor.

I went and took some pictures of him so I could make his invitations. He has a huge personality and makes everything really fun and entertaining.

Then I made these 2 banners for the tables using my Cricut.

I found this shadow window box at hobby lobby and spent several evenings finding all his awards, merit badges and pins even some from cub scouts. Then Scott helped me glue them all on, after rearranging it several times.

It turned out so great and it was a surprise to him.

I made the centerpieces for the food table, just cut out stars and put all the words that a scout is like Kind, Brave, Trustworthy, Honest, Frugal Loyal, etc.

At least know I’ll be set for the next court of honor, I'm sure before I know it, It will be Gavin's turn.

We are super proud of Tristin he has always loved Scouting and has had some of the best leaders. He gave out 3 mentor pins that evening because he couldn’t pick just one. I know he learned great skills and has great memories of all his scouting years.

Welcome to the Eagles Nest!
