Great status update. Good luck on earning your eagle in 18 months.

[@yamaanalkhalaf1261]

U should do a video about order of the arrow, if you are in it

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yamaan Alkhalaf i am not a member of OA.

[@MariaGuzman]

Eagle Scout Mac Guzman maybe you should try for this too.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I am busy enough with what I am doing. Maybe if I have time next year,

[@tomkelly1178]

So many badges

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes I earned a few 😎

[@golfcart7637]

I know this is really late for this video but I have my star board of Review on wensday

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Cool

[@Sergio_Solorio]

I turn 18 in 60 days and I’m still waiting to get my project approved by the district, wish me luck guys.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I recommend calling to see what the status is for the approval. Also, get as much if the paperwork done now. We had a scout who barely made Eagle before his 18th birthday. Make these two months count and GET IT DONE. Good luck!

[@Sergio_Solorio]

Good news! District got it approved, and I’m doing my Eagle Project tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it went

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

@@Sergio_Solorio That's great news! What is your plan for your project?

[@Sergio_Solorio]

Last week we built a solar panel redwood frame for a church mosaic, and a modern outdoor chair. The project was orchestrated pretty well, distribution of labor was a little frustrating sometimes with the little kids running around but otherwise pretty good. I have my SM conference tomorrow with a day to spare before my 18th, that’s the last thing before I turn in the paperwork. Wish me luck and I hope you continue doing well on your scouting journey !

[@baroquecrusader803]

Wow, eagle in two years, I study hard and I’m already Scout and almost done with tenderfoot, and I just joined a month ago, I study hard and I think I can rank up quickly

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

My goal is earning Eagle in 2 years because I will age out by then.

[@baroquecrusader803]

Ah, I see

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Commander Crispy you will see some Scouts stay at Life Scout for years then a few months before they turn 18... bam I need to finish my Eagle project! I had a three year break where I quit Scouting.

[@baroquecrusader803]

Ok

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I have been working hard the past year because I need to. I am two ranks and 7 badges away from Eagle... and the project of course😀

[@sh4rkyb0y_]

The cooking merit badge, that is 😅

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

😀

[@sh4rkyb0y_]

i"m still stuck with the cooking from 2014 😓. Hopefully, my MC will cut me some slack and let me do the most recent revision pf the badge

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

It might be easier to just start over. Keep me updated on your status👍

[@sh4rkyb0y_]

Eagle Scout Mac Guzman that’s true, hopefully I can talk to my MC so that they’ll let me do the newest requirements that I have to finish and then I can use the “cooking” from summer camp 🤔🤞

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Good luck!

I just came from camp lanoche today

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman have you need the sulpher springs?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes we walked there. I made a video about Lanoche two years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu3fJ2ParKAqMU go to 4:54

[@SnakeRoot271]

So I have a question on what do I need to do for the cyber chip I'm a first class scout I have requirements 1-4 I'm just wondering if you could go a little more in depth on how to get the cyber chip

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

There is a workbook for the cyberchip www.scouting.org/training/youth-protection/cyber-chip/ it needs to be recharged every year. Also, I just finished Digital Technology MB and it is the first requirement. I will make a video on that shortly😎

[@SnakeRoot271]

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman thank you

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Just talk to your parents about it (there should have been a pamphlet included with the Scout handbook). Once completed, get the SM or ASM to check you off. We use Scoutbook to track everything.

[@SnakeRoot271]

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman I got the parent requirements done as far as the contract talking to them and the 3 real life videos so those are all done I just need to do the presentation to my troop I have to do the 9-12 requirements

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

You can do the presentation as a patrol. That way other scouts can check it off too. Remember this needs to be re accomplished every year so doing it as a patrol is more efficient.

[@yamaanalkhalaf1261]

Did you do an ordeal at summer camp

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yamaan Alkhalaf No. I was busy with everything else.😀

[@malagu4ever856]

Congrats on earning Star Scout
