program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of
participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness; and

skills, including Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, and Citizenship
in the World; and

involvement in scouting for eleven years, Cameron is a honor roll student at Catholic High
School where Cameron is a junior and a member of the wrestling team; Cameron is also a
member of Jack & Jill of America; and

a degree in political science and eventually a law degree; and
WHEREAS, only a small percentage of Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Scout rank,
