A New Eagle Scout Poem
As a brand new Cub Scout with your uniforms of blue,
You couldn’t have foreseen all the great things you would
do.
You made new friends, ran and played, and made cars out of
wood.
You did it to have fun, but still you learned all that you
should.
As new boy scouts with your friends you faced something new.
You couldn’t have foreseen all the great things you could
do.
You built fires, pitched tents, made new friends, and did
deeds that were good.
You were still having fun, but now learned everything you
could.
As boy leaders you were tested with challenges anew.
You couldn’t have foreseen young boys looking up to you.
You led by example and taught them all you knew
You still had fun while it mattered, and learned much more
as you grew.
As teen scouts, life began to pull you all in different
ways,
You couldn’t have foreseen how easy it would be to stray.
But troop and friends and family helped you push on as a
whole.
It wasn’t always as much fun, but you were dedicated to the goal.
As young men, you’re now Eagle Scouts, standing here so
tall,
You couldn’t have foreseen how proud you’ve made us all.
You met each step as something more than just requirements
to do.
You’ll keep true to the lessons this journey has taught you.
You truly took each lesson to heart, you’re Eagles through
and through.
You know we foresee a great future for you.
