In April, Cameron was awarded the rank of Eagle from Boy Scouts of America. He has always admired the Eagle plaque that his dad has and wanted one like it. I emailed Brian's uncle Norman (who came up with the original) and asked him if he was still doing the Eagle plaques. His response was that he lost the person who did the calligraphy so he now just buys a 16 x 20 frame and a mat with a 8 x 10 in the middle and puts the Eagle Certificate in it and the merit badges around on the mat. Well, Sharri decided that if he could do it, so could she. Finding the frame wasn't so difficult, but the mat was. Nobody makes a mat that is 16 x 20 with a 8 x 10 insert. So, we had to pay a little extra and have one custom made. Then we had to un pick all the merit badges off the scout sash and glue them on the mat. This became quite the project, but when it was done it looked great. Cameron was excited with his new plaque that he didn't know where to hang it.The pictures below are of Brian's plaque and the newly made one for Cameron. They are quite similar, but also quite different. Now, the next project is to do one for Riley for his Arrow of Light Award and all the Cub Scout awards.
