My son in law was an eagle scout. Last summer I was visiting his mother, and she was getting ready to throw out all of his scout badges, clothes, etc. I was appalled - and snatched it all out of the garbage sack for him. One day I'm hoping that he will ask me to make him a quilt....

Don't wait for him to ask you to make a quilt. Just make it & surprise him with it for Christmas or birthday. You could make it a memory quilt, using a number of fabrics for things he has been interested/involved in throughout the years.

Glad to hear of your son making Eagle. All three of my sons made Eagle and now some of the grands are headed that way and I have started to make them scout quilts. Wish they had the fabrics out when my boys were younger.

I am very proud of him and proud of all the young people who work hard toward such admirable goals. In this day and age it does my heart good. Can't wait to see a picture!

My Oldest Son became an Eagle Scout in 1997 and we had his award Ceremony in March of 1998... I was the first to get involved at the Cub Scout Level, then my husband, I took all sorts of Training and loved Scouting...was in for over 13 yrs.
Hey with 3 boys....the 2 younger ones got into sports at school so Scouting kinda took 3 rd place... but I figure the experience was good for all of us... Can't wait to hear how he liked it ...when you get it done... :-D

Contratulations. That is quite an honor and something all of you should be very proud of.

JanieH 09-30-2011 03:03 PM

How special he is - that is really an accomplishment! And how special you are to honor him with a quilt! Congratulations to both of you!

Congratulations !! My son almost made Eagle, turned 18 and had one badge to go, they won't let him finish.

arizonagirl 09-30-2011 03:42 PM

Congratulations. What a fine young man you son must be. It takes dedication and hard work to make Eagle Scout. You should be very proud of him.

MaryAnnMc 09-30-2011 03:49 PM

I'm working on a quilt from all my son's Scouting t-shirts in honor of his Eagle. Congratulations on (soon) becoming an Eagle mom!

JusticeClan 09-30-2011 04:53 PM

I have an Eagle Scott too. Can you post a picture of the fabric? Have fun making it!!

maryb119 09-30-2011 05:20 PM

Congratulations for your Eagle scout!!! Great find on the fabric! Two of my sons are Eagle scouts. It is an honor for the boys to reach that goal in scouting. It takes time and dedication from the boys and the parents. Please show pictures of the finished quilt.

My daughter's 3 sons are all Eagle Scouts. We found out when the second young man entered the Air Force, that he got an additional amount of money was added to his wage because of this. Lots of time and effort is put into this by the Scout, and his family.

ktmo815 10-01-2011 04:30 AM

My son is working on his Eagle too & I'm making him a quilt also. One of his senior pictures is in his uniform with his "Order of the Arrow" sash - I'm putting that in the middle & working out from there. Congrats to both you & him

What great posts to read!! My son became Eagle when he was 18, some 25 yrs ago. Wow that's scary! I'm are so proud. BOA builds such great guys!!! So sad there aren't more tho. I'm keeping all his badges & would like to make a display box 1 day. My 2 DGS are involved in Boy Scouts in China. They got a late start but hope they can reach the top....
Congrats to all the guys that make it & especially to the Moms (& Dads) out there!!
They usually make great leaders!! Stats says 1 in 100 boys that starts Scouts reach Eagle!!!

God bless.....
