I have to share this,...my high school kid is blazing a trail, worked his butt off to buy his first vehicle, got his Eagle Scout, and is ready to get out there and explore. It is so important to teach our kids the skills to help them navigate this crazy world and have some fun along the way, can’t wait to see where the adventure takes him.

Sounds like my kid. He just turned 21 this week and he has been OUT THERE for a while now. He's into all types of hunting and fishing. He's not afraid to take a road trip alone or with a buddy. In high school he and a friend decided they needed to go to Arkansas to duck hunt, so they did. He's adventurous but careful...I think. At this point all one can do is remind them and say a little prayer.

That is awesome!! Great job! My youngest (11) and I are just starting scouts, I think it’s important, and helps build good character!!

Great job on his vehicle, I hope he enjoys it and has many adventures!
Padams7. That is great for you and your son, enjoy the scouting journey, try not to take it too seriously, and have fun learning cool outdoor skills that every kid should know.

That's awesome and congratulations to your son on making Eagle Scout.

Congrats on your kid making Eagle Scout! Our younger son was in Scouting for a few years, but never made Eagle. He was a bit "rebellious" during high school, but after graduating from college with a computer science degree he surprised us one day by stating "I've joined the Navy"... that was 15 years ago, and he'll be retiring in about 6 more years!

that is pretty awesome, @Geo Explore and Adventure!

ha! very true, @FishinCrzy i was glad to see my oldest get into this and now he's a junior in college in north louisiana and he goes on solo trips up into arkansas...definitely hoping that he DOESN'T act like i did back when i was solo adventuring at his age...
one great thing about kids is that they weren't around to see how their parents acted growing up :grinning:

Haha! @FishinCrzy , so true, I know what you are talking about, I even lie to my kids about some of my scars and old injuries, as I don’t want them to know how crazy I was when I was their age. But, we need to let them explore and have fun too!!!
