Randy's dad flew in (he can fly standby) for the event and stayed with us for 4 days.
Did you know Costco does an Eagle cake if you ask for it?
We just love him.
We had these simple display tables with photos of the boys and pages for guests to sign.
Parker's mom borrowed some vintage scouting stuff for the front table display. Nice.
Parker's mom also put the program the together (I took the photo of the boys).
Lucas and Landon.
During the program Landon explained a little bit about his Eagle Project.
My favorite part is when he awarded 3 mentor pins to great leaders Dave Johnston, Paulo Bangerter and Rocke Hendry. These men have had a great influence on Landon through his scouting/YM years and I am so, so grateful for their positive influence in his life.
Brother Johnston read the Eagle Charge and invited the boys to join the Eagle Nest.
Front row seats in the Eagle Nest.
Power hug from Adam afterward.
Power hug from Randy.
Official photo with his awesome mentors.
Did you know Landon has gone on two 50 mile hikes?!
Official.
He had so much family and friend support, lucky guy!

I have never seen the Eagle cake. It's impressive!
The pic of Landon and Randy power hugging made me tear up.
Congrats to you guys and Landon!
Great cake! How nice to have the other moms so you could all come together and get it all done. Congrats to Landon!
This post made me all sorts of weepy (because I have four ahead of me??). When they joined the eagle's nest, the mentor pins, the power hugs. Love every one of your photos.
Big congrats to Landon and you and Randy. Way to go, I'm seriously impressed!
This is so FANTASTIC!
What a GREAT celebration of such a huge effort- I am so happy for all of you.
Eagle is so much work, but so worth it.
I can't believe how quickly this young man has become a young man- and what a wonderful young man he is.
That Is Awesome! Congratulations Landon! What a huge achievement.
Way to go Landon!
My comments mimic everyone else's. What an incredible cheering section behind him. It truly takes a village to raise a boy.
That's so great that Randy's dad made the trip as well.
Congrats to you all.
(My goodness. That is one fine eagle on the cake, too. Whoa.)
Wow! What an accomplishment...good for you, Landon! He looks so grown up and proud. The picture with him and Randy is great!
I poured over this post for future ideas for Jake's Eagle dinner/ceremony...
The vintage scouting stuff was a nice touch...I wonder if my local Costco would do an Eagle cake...I'm skeptical--I need to check into that.
It might seem like a lot of boys earn Eagle Rank around here, but I learned at the last Eagle Court I attended only 2% of Boy Scouts achieve this. Hooray for Landon! And his support team.
What a monumental accomplishment! Congratulations to Landon, and to you and Randy for seeing him through. A proud moment, indeed, and a very handsome Eagle Scout!
