Court of Honor

Braden's Eagle Court of Honor was wonderful! We were thrilled with the large number of family, neighbors, friends and ward members who came to support Braden. It was such a joy to be there, and to hear the praise and recognition expressed for my son. Here is the program...

Braden requested Nathan Sorenson and Ryan Moore to speak, both their talks were outstanding. Later in the program, Braden presented each of them with the "Mentor Pin", a recognition of his favorite and most influential leaders throughout his scouting years.

A pin and a hug for mom...

...and a pin, handshake and hug for dad.

Proud parents!

Here is the "Eagle's Nest". This is where each of the men and boys in attendance who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout are recognized and invited to come forward and sit in a special, designated area. What an amazing group of men! We are grateful to each of them for their example and support.

After the program we served cookies and punch. I had a cake made with the scout logo and "Congratulations Braden!" printed on top. I also framed his official Eagle Scout certificate and some letters of recognition. It was a nice little display!

There was lots of eating, visiting and mingling afterwards. It was an excellent and memorable evening. I am so proud of my Eagle Scout!
