I come from a small troop, here in Independence, Missouri. One of the obstacles of achieving Eagle is to get all of the required merit badges. My troop does not offer anyone certified to sign off on the merit badges I needed. I played phone tag with several counselors that keep sending me to others who sent me to others who couldn’t help. My time was running out and I was about to give up and with out the help of my mom, Mr. Norton, and Mr. Leabo of of troop 282 this would not have been possible and I would have not accomplished this requirements.
