L (left), W, and V (right) are all in college now, but W completed his Eagle rank and got his Court of Honor before the pandemic restrictions went into effect. His patrol-mates L and V finished Eagle before going to college, but they weren't able to participate in a Court of Honor.

This past weekend, with the pandemic restrictions eased enough for us to hold an outdoor Court of Honor, our Troop finally held Court of Honor for 8 (!) Eagle Scouts, including L and V, who were home for the summer. It was great to see them, and afterward, we went to an Eagle celebration at the home of another Eagle Scout who was at the Court of Honor.

This weekend, I went through Vigil, and received the Vigil Honor from the Order of the Arrow. I had been selected by Tuku'ut Lodge for the honor last month. Vigil was exhausting and moving. I saw a brown bear twice over the weekend. But now I can say that I, too, have kept the Vigil.
