Mel wrote in this week to let us know that Joseph Sommerer passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review on October 19th. The US and Missouri flags were flown over the Missouri Capital in his honor on that day. Joseph will have an official Court of Honor in a few months when all of the paperwork comes in.
I don’t know how many of you have been involved in Scouting, but this is a rare and high achievement. Just look at this list of Eagle Scouts to see what I mean. As a teacher, I occasionally have students who are working on their Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project, and they have always been the very best students.
I wonder if we could get Joseph to tell us about his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project? Oh, and how many of you remember Joseph more like this?
Naomi Vetter says
Kudos to you Joseph on this distinguished acheivement! I would love to know what your Leadership Service Project was.
Cleopha Howard says
I want to know more about Joseph and his award. Who is Mel? and how did he know about this and I didn’t. Is Mel my brother Mahlon? Well how did you know about it? I would also like to have a report from Joseph. Thanks.
Lloyd Jr. says
Mel is Melissa Sommerer, Joseph’s mom. I’m guessing she read about it on Facebook or something like that.

Mahlon says
Congratulations, Joseph! Tell us about your project. We’re all so proud of you. Let’s see some pictures of your project….
Joseph Sommerer says
For my Eagle Project I organized the building of a handicapped accessible picnic table for my church, Cedar Grove Baptist Church. I helped my dad and Jim Sommerer do the welding of the frame, painted it, and other scouts helped me put the wood on the top. I will try to get a picture uploaded.
Christina says
What a wonderful project Joseph! Great job!
Joni says
Way to go Joseph!! We are so very proud of you. A LOT of work and dedication went into that special achievement. I read somewhere that it’s one of the only accomplishments you can complete when you’re 14, that still means something when you’re 50. Congratulations on a job well done!
Mary Jane says
That’s HUGE, Joseph! H U G E!! You are forever ahead of the rest in dedication, ability and heart. My first boyfriend was an Eagle Scout. If they are smart, all the girls will want to marry you! ; )
Tracy Vetter says
You should be so proud! Good job going the distance!
