Ma You Earned Your Eagle!

A fun musical snippet from the October 29th presentation "Legacy of Honor" commemorating the 100 year relationship between the Boy Scouts and the Mormon Church. I'm not LDS, but as an Eagle Scout, I know my mom earned hers, too! Check out the whole presentation here: www.scouts100.lds.org/

As an Eagle Scout myself, I can attest to the fact that families make earning Eagle possible.

Mom was a Den Mother when I was a Cub Scout and continued. Can't count the times she would drive us to loations to get a merit badge in some nature related badge. Don't know how many times she sewed merit badges on my sash and uniforms. Became an Eagle about 65 years ago and never would have made it with out her. She was the wind beneath my Eagle wings.

I am a proud mother of 2 Eagle Scouts.

[@Chadness316]

So you have two eagles badges then.

[@auroraderwin1071]

My mom will get her eagle 4 times

[@donpeterson3047]

My DAD, Allen Peterson, earned his Eagle twice, once when the gave the Badge to me his son Don and the other when they gave the Badge to my brother Craig!! and was the proudest father in Franklin Park, Illinois for 60 years!!

I'm a Canadian scout and its still accurate for us (even though we don't have eagles.). THANKS MOM!!!

Last night we held a joint court of honor with two other LDS Troops. Four Eagle Scouts were recognized. My son noted that all eight parents were either in uniform or had a Scout uniform; he understood that yes, he did all the work to become an Eagle (including starting Personal Fitness every year for five years!), but his accomplishment came because both of his parents understood the importance of it and sacrificed time and energy to help him make it happen. No boy ever truly accomplishes it on his own; that's not what it is designed to be. We watched this program when it originally aired and this song has been a running joke in our family. During the final moments of last night's celebration I was whistling it to myself... and one of the other moms sent it to me this morning. Happy memories.

As a eagle scout myself this cool

[@xhilerate5715]

I heard this song a few years ago and since then planned on sending it to my momma. I finished my project tonight and sent it to her. Board is in the next month or so. Depends on football season

Proud mother of 4 sons who earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Recognized by an EAGLE scout who honored me with a mentor recognition.

[@aaronleishman]

Thanks for posting it. I enjoyed, and I know my Ma earned her eagle too.

[@nancymackell641]

[@francisbenko4104]

This is so nice

[@alexdionisos]

I'm an Eagle Scout from Troop 610 Brook Park Ohio. This song is so true

[@codym2598]

Troop 249 anderson in

[@artfrankmiami]

I thought this was a great song idea because in our troop, it was the moms figuratively kicking the scouts in the butt to keep at it, stay motivated, but the boys still had to do the work. I didn't realize this was an LDS event....but I didn't appreciate the "Eagle Mill" comment either. Yeah, our troup proudly boasts that pretty much every scout has made Eagle because we're supportive of the boys and this is a major first step to success. Yeah, I also know a few get by with some simple projects mostly because of money issues but if there's a "mill" which I assume means the parents are doing all the work, that's unconscionable.

[@rbrtpongo]

I love this this was cool I became a Eagle Scout my self

[@leannenuttall5655]

[@seandouglas797]

Why did you have to point that out

[@user-sz9oi7sh9v]

I would like to use this song for a ceremony. How could I get a download of the song??

[@williamwilliams925]

What event is this?

[@chantseboucher8113]

Really

[@rogermacdonald7288]

Google "LDS Mormon Eagle Mill". Very few Mormons have really "earned" their eagle. It's really not a secret, most of the scouting world knows it... but them.

[@jackb6989]

Roger MacDonald yup. I can honestly say the only reason I actually did a real project is because my parents pushed me to do a bigger project. I hate being in an LDS troop. Venture crew all the wasy

[@codym2598]
