For my monthly update,I decided to experiment with another thumbnail style. Tell me what you think in the comment section below.

[@Kids-Cook]

I like your thunbnail

[@BlueWhaleLord]

The thumbnail looks like Bright Side.

[@bookworm4life836]

Nice "Secret". Who wants to hear the answer is hard work 😱

[@PoeTheSquash]

it is a good thumbnail and it does look a lot like Bright Side.

[@Kinetic_Toast]

It was my first recommended video today.

[@gabthegreat662]

Great status update. Not Gab the Great but still great.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Congrats, Gab the Great, you got the first comment trophy

[@malagu4ever856]

Another incredible video. You must be a very busy boy scout.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks. I am working the best I can. Sometimes that means my KZbin videos get posted a little later than my goal of Noon Saturday.

[@Kids-Cook]

Indian Lore looks fun. Are you going to make a video on that soon?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes,I think I will. It was a fun badge to earn and I learned a lot.

[@BlueWhaleLord]

You are doing well bro.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you. According to PoeTheSquash I am a "Try Hard". 🤓 I am getting close to my goal though.

[@DonMiguelYT]

Congrats. You are progressing very fast,

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you. You have earned the 2nd comment medal

[@Kinetic_Toast]

I like the instructor badge because it looks cool.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

The Instructor badge look s like First Class rank. Maybe you just want First Class rank 😵

[@AngerFamily]

You are growing every month, maybe you will get Eagle Scout quicker than 2 years

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks, I want to get it six months earlier so I can earn palm leaves.😎

[@PoeTheSquash]

Congrats...try hard 😱

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

You always say that 😬

[@Phuskooz]

You should be getting pretty close to your goal by now. Keep it up! 🦅🇺🇸

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks 😊 here us my most recent status kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzTh5ykjsiVkLM

[@connorneuhaus1281]

Great Job Mac and keep up the good work! A quick question for you is do you know what the Order of the Arrow is and are you apart of it? ~Connor from Troop 76, New Jersey

[@levim7462]

Connor Neuhaus it’s scouting honor society.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes, I know what OA is but not a member. If I have time I might join.

[@bookworm4life836]

This was #1 in my recommended. You must be YouTubing right :P

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

That's great!👍

[@seantoland4446]

Amazing vid. First one watching, your getting that eagle!

BTW, I appreciate the encouragement!.

[@artandcolours296]

Love scout hack

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you. I post a video every Saturday👍

[@MariaGuzman]

today is Sunday and you posted Robotics badge today:)

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I am trying. Sometimes I loose my motivation.😟

[@willmckinneystan685]

I am currently working towards Second Class, do you have any advice that you could give me?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Remember you can work on requirements for Second Class and First Class concurrently. Always look ahead to see if you can combine things. Like going on a hike and listing ten animals and ten plants/trees.

[@willmckinneystan685]

Eagle Scout Mac Guzman thank you, what troop are you in?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Troop 757... you can see the patch on my April Status Update kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWHCnZhnbNaorZI

[@rizball1]

While completing the Eagle Requirements is awesome... remember its not a race! I haven't heard you discuss any of the relationships you have developed in Scouting. Join OA, be a part of the organization... Have FUN!

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to earn Eagle Scout right before my 16th birthday. I was a Tenderfoot with zero Merit Badges. That was the year BSA decided to allow girls and I thought many would want to know if it was even possible to earn Eagle and was a unique topic to have on KZbin. Here is a more recent update m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/joPNl5uOrq-Beqc

[@rizball1]

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman Makes sense... so in your case it became a race... best of luck on finishing... the videos are great btw. finish strong. my son has time and he got to Life Scout before his 13th birthday... he's taking his time through the last requirements and project... his maturity is beginning to show in his leadership... Be great!

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

John Rizzi thank you, sir. I will make a video highlighting the specific relationships developed in scouts. Sometimes it gets omitted. Thanks for the feedback!

[@rizball1]

@@EagleScoutMacGuzman Congrats on reaching your goals BTW... Again... really nice videos. High quality info.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you John Rizzi It's been almost a year since my EBOR. Time flies!

[@colten2176]

I like the video good job

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thank you. I post a new video every Saturday👍

[@colten2176]

You’re welcome

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

+UNDISCOVERED Reaper i was camping this weekend so my weekly video is a little late 😓

[@MariaGuzman]

Where is June 2019 status update bro?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I was on vacation 😎

[@coltoneasy4164]

I’m still a low rank for over a year

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Keep working on it. Talk to your Patrol Leader and/or SPL to see what you can do to advance.

[@malagu4ever856]

Are you seeing an increase in views now that you earned Eagle Scout in 2 Years?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes. My channel is up 4500 views the last 28 days!
