Lessons From Becoming An Eagle Scout

So Erik scrambled and started his Eagle Scout project at a nearby park. He and a crew of volunteers worked for a weekend and started a project, but he dropped the ball and didn't go back to finish it until about a month later. So much time had passed that the park ranger finished the project because Erik dropped the ball. Oh no...if he didn't finish the project he couldn't get his Eagle Scout badge or his license! So Erik asked if there was any other work he could do. The park ranger gave him a second chance at another project. Erik and his crew accepted the challenge, finished the project, and then Erik got his Eagle Scout and his driver's license. Erik learned a ton from the experience. 1. You have to hold other accountable for what they say they are going to do. Erik's dad held him accountable, as did the park ranger. 2. You have to hold yourself accountable. If you say you're going to do something, you have to follow through. 3. If you fail to follow through then make sure to follow up and make it right. — Erik J.
