Tim MurphyEagle Scout Ceremony 10-24-2010

Our SonWe would like to say how proud of Timothy we both are. It has been a long road to Eagle, but quite a rewarding one. It has been a pleasure to see Tim grow to become the wonderful young man he is. Weʼre sure scouting had a lot to do with that.  Itʼs been a wonderful experience sharing all the scouting adventures with him. He has had so many great ones Iʼm sure that he will take through his life to make him a great leader. We hope he will use all the skills he has learned to become a strong and successful man.Tim we love you very much and couldnʼt be prouder of the great son you are. No matter where life takes you, promise to always keep us laughing with your quick wit.All our love , Always and Forever.Mom & Dad

Iʼd like to thank Dr. Aloisio for helping me to make Eagle. I want to thank all of the adult leaders for helping me all these years. Iʼd also like to thank all of the scouts for helping me with my project and for sharing the scouting experience. Scouting has helped me do things I would never even think of. I have white water rafted in Utah, skied in Vermont, went to summer camp in Rhode Island, hiked through Boston, canoed down the Delaware river, slept on Gettysburg battleground and rock climbed a couple of years ago. I went to Philmont New Mexico.  Philmont is 1 of the 4 high adventure scouting camps. Our troop did a 70 mile hike for about 2 weeks. I was the youngest on the trip being 13 and I struggled. The whole time I mostly thought it was terrible. I mean who wouldnʼt since it rained everyday and we were chased by cows. But now looking back it really wasnʼt that terrible and I will never forget it.Thank you Mr. Woods for showing me my inner strength, Mr. Vail the little Napoleon for dragging me up the mountains and Mr. Harasym for teaching us great bush whacking skills.Thank you troop 161 for giving me opportunities I would have never experienced. Thank you Mom & Dad for helping me through scouting. I wouldnʼt be here without the help of both of you.

I love you.
