I have not however posted to the list since becoming Scoutmaster of Troop 86 in Bedford, Tx. Our former Scoutmaster was stricken with laranax cancer and has undergone treatment that we hope will rid his body of cancer but has left him struggling to find the energy to make a living let alone keep up with a Boy Scout Troop. I am in retail and will have to work around the fact that Saturdays off are not going to happen but I can set the tone of the troop and can do all the other non Saturday events that take place including finding them in the dark on Saturday night. The other Troop leadership has been very kind to have a tent set up for me and my dinner hot when I get to the place they are camping. My question for the list involves a call I got from a Mom from another Troop who needs an Eagle Poem. I have the words but not the format or the name of the Poem. Hopefully someone on the list can fill in the void. The Poem that follows has breaks where I put them, not the author and no telling about spelling or punctuation. If anyone has a clean copy of this Poem, could you send it to me. She intend to use the Poem at her son's Eagle ceremony later this month and she called me because I am on Roundtable staff and she has learned the lesson of RESOURCES. Clap, Clap. Now the Poem. Upon My Chest, I Proudly Wear, A Badge of Gold, With Which I Dare, To Challenge, To Aim So High, Your Life Will Be, Where Eagles Fly. Five Million Strong, The Boys and Men Stand up For Scouting... Salute... And Then, Hark to the Tale, Of One Who Knows, As Onward... Onward... Scouting Grows. Thanks for the resource of this list and the great, great people who live and breath this Scouting stuff with conviction, passion. Yours in Scouting, Joe Marsh Scoutmaster Troop 86 Joe Marsh Roadrunner District Longhorn Council Bedford, Land of Texas (D.F.W. area)
