If he needs a registration flier let me know his address in PM and I'll get one out to him.

We'll be handing out fliers at the car shows as soon as I get some from the pro printer.

That's wonderful! I was a Boy Scout but my troop disbanded when I was only 1st Class Scout. Both of my sons were Boy Scouts. One got up to Life Scout and the other got to Eagle Scout with Bronze Palms. That's quite and achievement to get to Eagle and I'm sure you are a very proud dad.

That I am. And he is also Eyeing up the palms. He's hoping to earn enough for at least one Gold Palm. (that's a lot of Merit badges beyond Eagle). He's got Time as he will only be 14 when he completes Eagle. We've Worked Hard to get this far and he plans to keep on going.

Clearfield • John Bills’ quest to earn every Boy Scout merit badge had an unexpected result: It saved his grandfather’s life.

It wasn’t the life-saving merit badge that did it. Or first aid. Or emergency preparedness. The badge the now-Eagle Scout credits with his grandfather’s rescue was actually dog care.

The story went something like this: During a visit to the Humane Society for his dog-care merit badge, John adopted a red Irish setter named Jake. It was an impulse decision. But on a freezing February night, just two days after bringing the dog home, it paid off.

It was 2 a.m. when Jake began to growl and fidget. The noise awoke Chris Bills, John’s father, who arose from bed to see what was the matter. After finding nothing amiss, he lay down again. But Jake refused to calm down. So Bills arose for a second time. It was then that he discovered John’s grandfather — an 84-year-old with Alzheimer’s — standing on the doorstep in 2-degree weather wearing nothing but pajamas. The ailing man had been locked out.

"I couldn’t believe it," John said. "My dad and I rescued Jake as part of a merit badge, and Jake actually ended up saving my grandpa’s life."

Serendipity is the word John’s father uses to describe many of the events that occurred during his son’s search for every merit badge offered by the Boy Scouts of America.

John — the 19-year-old son of father Chris Bills from Holladay and mother Diane Prince and stepfather Robert Prince from Centerville — decided shortly after earning his Eagle, at age 13, that he wanted to earn every merit badge. It was a lofty goal. Although it takes 21 merit badges to earn the Eagle rank, the Boy Scout organization offers 129 patches.

John met his goal, finishing his last merit badge on Oct. 29 — the night before 18th birthday.

Thanks M&M,

I'm going to print this off and tell the story at this coming Tuesday nights Court of Honor.

I just went through the merit badges my son has Earned. Lookes like the rank goes from Bronze-Gold-Silver and then combo's with more badges earned. So far He's got enough for up to the 1st Silver (15 Extra Merit badges). But Earning the Eagle comes 1st. He needs this project completed and two merit required badges (Citizenship in the Nation which we are stating after the court of Honor, and Emergency Preparedness or Lifesaving, both of which have been started.)

The first item for the silent Auction has arrived


Goes well with the theme of the show too.

As things come in I'll post more.

[MnMsToy]

To be only 14 when he achieves eagle is outstanding. Only about 2% of all Boy Scouts become Eagles.

[FUZZY]

Got all the envelopes with letters of request done this morning. I'll take em all to the post office on Monday.

Unfortunately we did them with no help from his troop, except for one asst. troop leader. We did have help from the neighbor girl who needed some community service hours.

Over the next few weeks we get to watch for responses and log them in the spreadsheet.

[FUZZY]

Recieved a few calls today on the Eagle Scout Project.


Travis now has

(3) 1 month memberships for the Athletic club for the silent Auction

Commitments for something by 3 Artist's from Virginia, California, and Florida

something from the Texas Roadhouse

And fielded a phone call from his first Sponsor for the show. The gentleman requested to remain anonymous (which we will repspect) and just wanted the sponsorship to be named In Memory of Stan Fox the Indy Race driver who passed away in 2007 (I think) in New Zealand.

I'll post more as things come in.

[FUZZY]

A few more replies today.

Dinner entre and roadhouse sauce from Texas Road house.

One nights stay at Holiday inn express.

Two round trip bus tickets from Van Galder bus tour facility (1 to and from Rockford Ohare. 1 to and from Chicago)

One very appoligetic letter for not being able to help due to policy and number of requests for donations. Lot's of Praise for him writing and organizing a great event and cause.

3 returned as undeliverable. Drove by 2 of the places this week so I know they are still in bussiness. Don't know what's up there?

[FUZZY]

Got a few more replies while we were out of town for the weekend.

$50 gift card from Walmart
3 free Oil change certificates from a local dealership (Harms KIA/ Nissan).

Along with a few that could not help at this time. One with a request to resubmit when the event gets closer. They may be able to help by then.

[FUZZY]

A few more items came this week.
More gift certificates for door prizes,
Couple direct donations for the scholarship fund.
A commitment from CARART INC. to provide something for the Silent Auction.
Two smaller sponsorship donations.
And an offer to do an interview and set up some .30 sec promotional service announcements two weeks before the show on a local radio station.

and of course a few that couldn't help at this time.

We'll take the good with the bad.

We have an appointment with one contact on Monday to see if they are willing to help out in some way.

Oh, and three out of five gave high commendations for the way the request packets were put together and the format of the show.

[FUZZY]

A few more updates.

Season pass to local pool (City of Janesville Leisure services)
(2) 10 session tanning passes (Southern Exposure Tanning spa)
bowling party for 4 with shoes n ball.(River's edge Bowl )

And one more sorry we can not help, but wish you the best on your project.

[FUZZY]

A few more responses today. Unfortunately more unable to helps than can helps. But all with commendations on the project and info packets.

We're set up for Thursday morning for the interview about the Project to get out the word and what help we still need, and then sit down to discuss the content of the service announcements for later on.

Had a meeting with Scott Schroeder Law firm in town. Scott wanted to meet Travis in person to dicuss his needs. Come to find out, he is also and Eagle Scout. By the time we were done he had agreed to help out by donating (3) document preparations and an I-pod for the Silent Auction.

So two plus' out of five today still wasn't all bad.

[Lil Miss FUZZY]

Here's the interview my brother and dad did this morning at 11:00 am on the local radio station back home.

Eagle Scout Project -- WCLO

[Greg Ducato]

[FUZZY]

The Green Bay Packers organization has approved a donation for the Silent Auction, and recieved gift cards from Papa Murphey's for door prizes.

The interview went well considering Travis is very shy around other people and it was his first time on the air.

[FUZZY]

Got two more replies today.

Thanks to Greg Ducato (Phoenix Transmissions) for sponsorship

and Ed Obermeyer (cruisn Ed) for sending out some artwork for the Silent Auction.

[FUZZY]

Recieved a sponsorship today from Allstate (Adam Johson agency).

[FUZZY]

Been a slow two weeks since the last update.

Travis recieved (4) $25 gas cards from the Stop n Go in Madison @ Fish Hatchery rd. and a new Sponsor Fagan Automotive Dealership.

We did get a couple more requests for registrations, and got two more back. So attendance is looking better

If you're not doing anything the Weekend of July 7th, 2012.

Come on out and join us for the show and silent auction.

[FUZZY]

This week was a good week.

We recieved requests for donation forms from three other Pampered Chef reps.

The first (Nikki) has committed to a Dove's Chocolate Discoveries Basket.
The other two have offered a Thirty One Gifts set, and Amway Artistry Pamper package. Still awaiting the donations request confirmations.

So LADIES. There will be items that you will be assured to like in the Silent Auction as well.


And here's something many of you will love.

I went through some of my Posters/Prints and found that I have 2 SSR factory posters. I have decided to Put one up for Online Auction the week before the "Eagle's for Higher Education" Event. Starting July 1st and ending July 6th at midnight CST.
