费什伯恩 Military School, Waynesboro, VA — 费什伯恩 Military School’s BSA Troop 1879 welcomed their latest Eagle Scout last evening as Cadet Austin Haug (Senior; Culpeper, VA) completed his final interview with Valley District Scout Leaders.
Haug, a three-year Cadet, was both “relieved 和 proud” to have reached this milestone in his Scouting career 和 credits the lessons learned through Scouting for much of his success at FMS.
“Scouting gave me my first leadership opportunities 和 taught me to be comfortable speaking to 和 teaching groups of individuals,” he explained.
When asked what the most important facet of his leadership education has been, Haug replied “the importance of persistence. If you can’t persist in your pursuit of a goal, then you end up with nothing.”
Persistence in his pursuit of attaining Eagle played a role, 事实上, in Haug’s decision to come to 费什伯恩 Military School. “When we were looking at schools, it was important to me that I could continue with Scouting. We saw 费什伯恩 had an active Scout Troop 和 that really helped us choose to come here.”
Now, preserving 和 strengthening FMS’ Troop 1879 has emerged as a goal for Haug in his Senior year. “We have a lot of younger cadets here 和 I’d like to encourage them to join the Troop. It’s unfortunate when a Cadet comes to Scouting too late in his career 和 just doesn’t have enough time to see it through to becoming an Eagle. I want to help younger guys get involved early so that they can reach this level too.”
As far as future plans, Haug hopes to attend the Virginia Military Institute for college 和 pursue a commission in the US Army while studying Computer 科学 和 CyberSecurity.
