Not so very many years ago the I had the privilege of serving in the Primary. As I recall there was a very precocious little boy that did much to thwart the efforts of his teacher and leaders. He and his cohorts classmates enjoyed sneaking out of the classroom windows and other clever tricks. Who would have thought that within 3-4 years this boy, Tristan Russell, would grow a couple of feet and be receiving his Eagle Scout Award at the age or 14. As a former leader of his, I am prodigiously proud of him, for sure it was a direct result of all the good leadership he received as a primary child.
Actually, Tristan himself answered some of the questions that may be burning in your mind.
Tristan: I have learned how to work hard, pursue my dreams and many other fun and interesting skills
Q:What did you do for your Eagle Project?
Tristan: I put in supports then put in porches and added stairs, railing and lattice to the porches at the Historical Park.
Tristan: I learned how important planning is and how to be a good leader.
Tristan: They probably helped me the most. They were always there and willing to help.
Q: What advice would you give other boys who are, or will be working on getting their Eagle?
Tristan: Work hard and keep at it and eventually you will make it to where I am now.
Q: What was your favorite merit badge to earn?
Tristan: Fingerprinting. It was the easiest.
Q: How do you think having your Eagle Scout Award will help you in your future life?
Tristan: I think it will help me be better at being a leader, in working hard and in understanding others.
Thanks Tristan and Congratulations!
