Court of Honor

Travis and Tyrel's Court of Honor was tonight. It ended up very nice and was a great tribute to them. The remarks and introductions were great! I am so proud of both of them.

Our Young Men's leader, Brent Johnson introduced Travis and Tyrel's Teachers Quorum advisor Frank Montague introduced him. Then they both told about their projects. Doug Howell, who was Scoutmaster for both of them spoke, and Sean and I both spoke.

President Newman gave some remarks and did the Eagle Charge. They also received an Eagle scarf from the Stake Young Men's presidency which Kevin Johnson presented to them. Then they gave the mother and father pins as well as their mentor pins. Tyrel gave his to Brother Howell and Travis gave his to Brother Peterson. The Bishop spoke for a minute then we wrapped it up with a closing song, prayer and treats. The boys wanted brownies, mint chocolate chip ice cream and Grandma Nielsen's hot fudge sauce.
All of Sean's siblings and their families made it (except the Davis family, we missed you). Both sets of grandparents were there and lots of their friends came also along with their past and present leaders. It was a great evening. I'm so grateful that they both achieved the honor of being an Eagle Scout.
