A Little Scouting Closure

Hoping for some closure tonight as I go to an Eagle Scout board of review for the last founding member of Troop 1010 in Idaho Falls.

She'll be the fourth of five original members to earn her Eagle rank, and the last eligible to do so (the fifth aged out of the program as a Life Scout). This should have happened in June, but with family complications and then her heading off to college in the next state, the board of review has been delayed until now.

I hope things go well. They should, but I'm always a nervous nellie who sees the cloud in the silver lining. I'm just ready for it all to be done. I don't like loose ends, and this particular end has been lose for a very long time.

Scouting life is coming to a close for me. We're letting the Venture crew we've been with for a long time fold, as we only have two active members, one of whom is joining the US Army and will be unavailable. My family still does Scout Camp all summer, and that's fine. But I'm finally seeing that exit coming up and I'm taking it. Getting this board of review done is kind of my last goal, so it's good to see it finally happening.


Update: She passed her board and is an Eagle Scout. So happy.
