My oldest son achieved Eagle Scout last year (2016) and he finally got around to having the ceremony (Court of Honor) where he is actually awarded the honor. (2017)  It is up to the scout to organize the ceremony to some extent.  Yes, it did take him a year to do this.  Apparently, he got the procrastination gene from me.

Part of the ceremony involves a sort of slide show where pictures are put to music.  The pictures show his history from cub scouts through boy scouts.  He chose the song and his mother arranged the pictures.

I think the range and breadth of activities shown in the pictures are amazing.   I mean I did the pinewood derby when I was a kid but that was about it.  These guys have done everything from ice climbing in Alaska to scuba diving in Mexico to canyoneering with the scorpions and rattlesnakes right in my backyard in Arizona.  Hopefully I will be going up with them to Alaska next year and also doing Clear Creek canyon in the next year or so.

A note about the music. . . . I may be completely wrong on this as I often am but I think in most boy scout troops they would not have allowed him to use the song he chose.   The song is "Sea of Air" by "Portugal. The Man."  Sounds like it would be an environmental song.  It is not.

That's about all.

Peace out.
