On His Honor

October 12, 2014

Garrett earned his Eagle Scout and was awarded on Sunday October 12, 2014.  He sure makes us proud of his accomplishment and of the young man he is!

 

Garrett gave his mentor pin to Frank Houston - his wrestling coach, teacher and friend.

Welcomed into the Eagle's Nest.  

Garrett, Cade Harland, (YM Leader) and Jantzen Orton.

Garrett and Jantzen Orton both received their Eagle's that night.

Sure do love this family!  Even Leighton's scowl!

 Bishop Yardley spoke on these 2 Eagle's growth through the years.  This was his "slide show".  The right side belongs to Garrett and the Left is for Jantzen.  He talked about how Garrett (the short one) and Josiah (the tall one) led scouts by example.  He told how they stood out at one particular camp out (the 2 stick figures x 5) and how Garrett stood out for his decisions to be good and do what was right in a situation.  The next down was his eagle - a backhoe used to build a deep fire pit for roasting at the County Fair Grounds.  The next was how his example as the Teacher's Quorum President stood out again.  The left was how Jantzen would freak out with a little dirt in his duffle bag at camp outs.  Janzten is a clean freak.  The next was for a song he made up to the tune of Oh Danny Boy but Oh Scouty Boy.  And the last for his leadership as Deacon's Quorum President.   

 Both these boys are great examples of Eagle Scouts.  They are both hard working, kind, thrifty, and everything else the scouting theme is.  So grateful and proud!
