Five news articles have been published about my Hornaday conservation project at Dunwoody Nature Center.  One was published in The Dunwoody Reporter in January 2017 and authored by Ms. Dyana Bagby.  Another was written by Ms. Savannah Norton and published on the K12 national blog site, “BloggEd,” in July 2017.

A third article was published in the Georgia Cyber Academy Advanced Learner Program Newsletter in January 2017 (but no longer showing; only my picture is there) by Mrs. Rebekah Cooper; she attached the link in her newsletter from Ms. Bagby’s article.  Two more articles were published on http://www.patch.com by my mom.

I’ve earned 15 badges during the time I’ve been working on my Hornaday project, April 13, 2017

While working on my Hornaday project since getting my application approved in May 2016, I’ve continued to work hard in scouting in other endeavors.  I love Boy Scouts and I’m very committed to being a Boy Scout.  I’m working toward being an Eagle Scout.

During the time that I’ve worked on my Hornaday project so far, I’ve completed 15 merit badges, including 2 Eagle-rank badges.  I’m also currently working on 2 Eagle-rank badges, and expect to earn more merit badges at summer day camp and National Jamboree.

I’ve also participated in many scout troop events, camping trips, and troop meetings, including monthly Jamboree troop meetings.  I’ve only missed two troop meetings in the past 9 months for being sick or out of town, and one Jamboree troop meeting due to being out of town.

My scouting schedule has been so busy during the past year that I’m sometimes drained, especially with school and other activities.  I work hard in school, am an honor student in the advanced program, and do other community service projects in addition to my Hornaday project.

I’m very committed to scouting.  Besides playing video games, scouting is my favorite thing to do.  I’m happy to be in scouting, learn many important life skills, and give back to the community.
