of Crossroads United Methodist
Church to implement his plans for
the construction of two picnic
tables. Through his planning and
leadership, assisted by Scouts and
Scout leaders from Troop 96, the
tables were completed and given to
the Crossroads Church in August
1993. Having satisfied all the
requirements for the Rank of Eagle
Scout, he passed his Board of
Review on December 6,1993. In a
letter dated Dec. 23, 1993, the

of America confirmed the Award of
the Eagle Scout Rank.

Eagle Trail", the progression from

by Troop 96 Scoutmaster Troy C.
Gay, assisted by Eagle Scouts Paul
Kemp and Andy Bacon.
At the opening of the court of
Honor, Ms. Annie Bacon, Scouting
representative for Crossroads United
Methdodist Church, reminded T.J.
that, "...when once the Eagle Rank
is won, and you are soaring with
the others, remember Eagle is for
life, reach out and help another..."
Taken from a poem by Richard R.
Cobbs titled "From Tiger Cub to
Eagle ScouL"
Mr. Charles W. Hubbard, a
retired business executive now
residing in Wayne County, Ga.,
presented the Eagle Award to TJ.
by pinning the Eagle badge to the
Scout uniform. He used an
adaptation by Dr. James Sheard,
taken from "Ride The High Places",
explaining how the Eagle is
symbolic in building the strength
to achieve greatness. T.J. was
challenged by Mr. Hubbard to:
"...Choose your values carefully.
Learn from those that go before
you. Observe from the high
ground. Expand your vision each
day. Set your goals high. Focus
your effort on them. Achieve your
own greatness one day at a time..."
In recognition of their support
and encouragement, TJ. presented
each of his parents within a
miniature eagle. T.J.’s father
presented him with his Eagle
certificate and letter of
congratulations for the Chief Scout
