[wagionvigil]

I Took my Ordeal in 1963 in Wagion #6 and sealed my membership with Brotherhood in 1964. I have served as an adviser for most committees and served as Lodge Adviser which was a great honor for me.
I am now Vigil since 1995 and Have been honored with our Lodge Thundebird Award which is similar to the Founders award which we do not give. The Thunderbird Award is given to one youth and one adult each year at our Lodge Banquet. My Vigil Name Translates to Downhill Musicman.
My son who is now 27 is a Vigil Honor Member and I had the Honor of sashing him with my Fathers Vigil Sash.
The OA is a Great Organization and if operated as intended grooms youth to be leaders.

I am a Scouter: Made it to Star as a Youth. I am a Brotherhood member and am soon to step into the role of Chapter Advisor.

My Son is a Life Scout, with a desire to soon be Eagle (finishing his project this month), he serves as the Assistant Commissary Chief and is the Troop O/A Rep. He is also a Brotherhood member and just returned from the NCLS Conference in Indiana.

We are both members of Enda Lechuahanne Lodge #57.

Rank: Eagle
Ordeal: 2003
Brotherhood: 2004

I've served as a primary figure in my Lodge's Membership field, primarly working with the database and making sure everyone's up to date on their payments, etc. I also served as President of Membership for the 07 Section Conference. I'm thinking of running for Lodge Secretary next year when I'm 16. I'm content where I am now though and plus I'll be a senior so I'll be extremely busy with school.
