momof2cubs Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 OK, I am sure but I have to ask, since it's been bugging me for months. Eamonn, what is HWMBO?? You use that frequently, usually referring to...your son's mother? Is it Her Who Must Be Obeyed?? Sorry for the tangent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Lisa, Ditto the above. Tell the boy when he goes to college, he'll look back and wonder why he thought any of those were hard. But tell him failure is a distinct possibility. As long as he has the sense that he might not fulfill the requirements if he slacks, the odds are in his favor that he'll overcome. We know one Eagle candidate who had the attitude that he could put everything off up until the last minute. He was only a candidate. Denial is a great path, until you slam into the wall at the end of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisabob Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Done. He finished badge #3 yesterday, SMC & BOR tomorrow, no surprises expected. So in case others are wondering, yes, you can do three Eagle-required badges in under a month without much sweat. (camping, environmental science, e-prep) One nice thing about this - he's relatively new to this troop (15 months or so) and while he's been quite active, he hasn't had a lot of individual interaction with many of their adult leaders. Doing these badges has helped him get to know a couple of them better - adult association method at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hope he enjoys the next six months! Adults will rally around a driven youth, even if he transferred in yesterday. At his SMC he'll get a load of advice. probably most significant: start the Personal ** badges ASAP, and decide what he'd like to do for a service project.

Engineer61 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Tangent: HWMBO According to Google "He Who Must Be Obeyed". In my particular case it's ... SWMBO - "She Who Must Be Obeyed" = Wife. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
