Essay Question - Other than your Eagle Scout leadership service project, what service have you provided to your community during your high school years?
During my high school years, I have primarily provided service through my participation in the Christiana Care VolunTeen program and through the various clubs that I lead.

After the impromptu break, when I rejoined and revisited the enjoyment I experienced from my Philmont trek, I affirmed myself as a Scout for life, as I saw the positive influence the program had on me and knew that Scouting could guide me to become a better citizen of the community.
