Matthew Fox received his Eagle Scout award on Thursday evening and Paul presented it to him. He said that Matt is probably going to be his last Eagle since he is no longer scoutmaster and since his knees have gotten so bad he probably won't be able to do it again. That's kind of sad because he has a true gift in working with young men in that capacity. Matt is probably a good one to end on though because he is probably the best example of a young man who truly benefited from the scouting program in a huge way. He came in as a very young, spoiled boy and finished up as a young man ready to move forward with confidence to the next chapter of his life. It has been a pleasure to watch him grow up and make so many positive changes in his attitudes and abilities. It was a sweet evening.
