I recieved my Eagle Award in February 2004. I don't think I got any gifts over $50, which I personally thought was too much. I got two different multitools (a Gerber and a Leatherman) which I appreciate and use a lot. My cousin also got me an American flag flown over the capital, by request of his senator, and presented it to me in a beautiful walnut display case. It will reside in my future office.

I have a few friends that managed the feat...

One retired as a Lt. Colonel.

One is running for Circuit Judge in our county..

One accidently shot his/our best friend through the heart ... haven't seen him since then...

(The good, the "oh god" and the sad...)

Seriously...

Give your nephew the best of yourself ... be another example of what is good and just. He's already trying his best (and has achieved what many only dream about...) and he'll look for any one/thing that can only help him in his quest.

By showing him that you recongnize his achievement, that will instill further confidence in his pursuits in his life.

Too many kids are dismayed that there's little, if any, positive recognition of what they do and their achievements all together.

And many times, just one hand on the shoulder and a "Good job!" is all it takes to remove any doubts about the time and effort they put forth.

And when it comes to teenagers, a good, expensive meal doesn't hurt!

Make sure he dresses up for the occasion - if not his Eagle uniform, at least a decent coat/jacket and a pair of dress pants!

And make sure he wears dress shoes too!
