Check out these shorts! Aren't they awesome? These are the real deal, official and maybe even original BSA shorts. Following in Devin's footsteps, Eric donned the very same pair of shorts Devin wore to his Board of Review. I think they were the good luck charm. He passed! Or maybe these snazzy socks with the red trim brought the good luck. Or maybe Eric was just that good!
Now that's a boy who seriously wants to be an Eagle Scout. Seriously. Check out that Vasity V below his merit badges.
Here is the Board that grilled him hard for 30 solid minutes about everything from the 10 essentials, (don't forget the water) to actually tying a bowline knot, to what do you want to be when you grow up and to what post would you like to be assigned when you serve a mission for your church?
Eric chose his first and favorite Scoutmaster, (aside from dad of course)Roland King, to present him to the Board. After Eric was excused, Roland asked the board, "Is there anything that would hold you back from advancing Eric to the Eagle rank tonight?" He's a serious deal closer.
And that's why we pay him the big bucks.
The proud parents. Whew, one more thing to plan, a Court of Honor, and we're done. Well, except for the Eagle Palms he wants to earn. I guess you can never say you're done, can you?

That shorts/socks combo totally rocks! Ah, can't wait to come congratulate him in person. Where did he say he wanted to go on his mission?
He said he didn't know, just whereever they send him. The gal on the board said, yeah, that's what they all say!
