Any Eagle Scouts?

Never heard of Firecrafters. Checked out the website. Looks awesome!

It's Crossroad of America Council's honor program. It was actually looked at, along with OA and Mikosay (based out of St. Louis) to become the national honor society, but the founder of Firecrafter declined. The biggest differences, while they're both service oriented, is that OA is election based, and Firecrafter is requirerment based, and I feel does a much better job of forcing the youth to step up on the Leadership.

Oh yeah, and fire by firction is awesome!

Firecrafter is one I always forget about. I received Firecrafter as well, cant remember exactly when but I know it was before I received my Brotherhood. I need to scan a copy of the Indy Star front page for when I did my Eagle Service project. I didn't expect front page, also got a lot of flack from kids in junior high about it as well.

I like firecrafter a lot because of the practical skills you learn. I am also agreeing the being able to create fire by friction is a great time. People cannot believe that one can do it so fast.

I loved scouts. I made it to Star. Wish I would have went on to Eagle but got a little distracted and spent my remaining years of eligibility being in Demolay. Which was another great organization. I loved going to Ransburg every year. I was in OA and made it to Brotherhood. I made it to the second level of Firecrafter but enjoyed the other merit badge classes more. I hope Scouts has not been weakened to bad.

I finished mine as a freshman, by that time, it was kinda past the OMG uncool point.

LOL I got a lot of flack too, but I looked at them and laughed and told them about all the fun they were missing! Did you know that talking about the birds, deer, butterflies, and beauty of Nature was a great way to pick up girls in High School? Worked for me and I'm nothing much to look at! LOL

I got my eagle in April 2008! My project was to build a shelter house at a local dog park.

Made Eagle the day before my 18th B day I believe it was back in 88'

Then went on to explorer scouts, where we did mostly survival skills training.

I met my current girlfriend almost four years ago in an EMS explorer post. She went on to work at Ransburg for three summers, and went on to certified at National Camp School for aquatics.

So yeah, worked for me too.

I would say this rings true for a lot of the ones i know.

Myself, dad and brother, all Eagles.

I am lucky to work in an office and my cubicle has 4 eagles out of 7 people! Its like boundary waters in here with such a high Eagle concentration.
