I am in the Order of the Arrow as a Brotherhood member of the Echockotee Lodge (200). I am currently the Vice President of Membership and served as the President of Membership when my Lodge hosted the 2007 Section Conference.
I have attended the 2005 National Jamboree and the 2007 World Jamboree at Hylands Park, England. It was awesome; I highly encourage Scouts to visit the next World Jamboree in Sweden (2011).
I have two more years left in Scouting and I can't wait to see what's in store for me. This I will attend Florida's High Adventure Sea Base with my friend's troop, Northern Tier with my OA Lodge, and Woodruff Scout Reservation and when I graduate high school I am going to join Venturing.
My ultimate goals in Scouting are nine Eagle Palms (three silvers), over 70 merit badges, and all of the major awards.
My name is Swim4lyfe because I absolutely love swimming. I am on the road to earning every aquatics award/merit badeg in Scouting.
Well, that's pretty it, haha. Take care.
