WOW!
Truly, I didn't expect to see this many people in FIRST to be active in scouting. I am glad to see that so many rank advancements have been made, too.
I am a freshman this year. As chessking132 said, it is hard to jugle everything around. FIRST, school, scouts. It was really hard for me. From mid-September to Thanksgiving, I was gone on a cross country bike trip. It wasn't until I got home that I joined FIRST. Since then, I have joined the Sound and Light crew at our high school. Between FIRST and Sound, I have missed many scout meetings. It has been a stressful year so far, but hey, it's my Freshmen year, this is the time to learn what to do and when to do it. Chessking132, learn from your stress and see if you can't make it less stressful next year. I know that I will try to do some of my extracurricular acitivities durring the begging of next year rather than durring the FIRST build season.
One last note, congragulations to everyone who has earned their Eagle Ranking. It isn't an easy trek, and from what I hear, Girl Scouts can be just as hard, if not harder, to finish. Once more, congragulations to everyone.
