While in the Boy Scouts, I was a member in the Wauhawk District of the Hawkeye Area Council, as well as a member of the Order of the Arrow in Cho-Gun-Mun-A-Nock Lodge 467. And like anyone who's been involved with a program for a long period of time, over the years that I was in Scouting, I managed to attend a wide variety of events, hold my share of positions, and receive a few awards and recognitions. Here is a list of all (that I can remember anyway) the positions I've held, awards I've received, training I've had, and events I've attended (save unit events).

** I know what you're thinking... only First Class?!?! I agree, I should have gotten further. It took me quite a while just to get that far; thanks to my case of hyrdophobia (developed after I almost drowned at a hotel pool when I was about five or so). And by that time, instead of focusing on my own advancement, I spent my time helping others with theirs. Looking back, I'd have to say that I'm kind of glad I'm not an Eagle Scout from Troop 204. I have yet to see a Scout from 204 earn Eagle, and stay in Scouting.
