Your words were: "...son, can speak confidently in public & has become a leader as a result of the scouting experience."
How true this statement is! I too am a proud mother of an Eagle Scout. Today, after college and receiving his ME (Mechanical Engineering Degree), he too speaks confidently within a company's research and development department. Your son's Boy Scout history will follow him forever. Many of our son's interviews and meetings of executives, someone will ask, "You ever belong to Scouts?" And from there comes a bond unspeakable. Congrats to your son and yes, we moms understand your emotions.
