The annual Americanism Breakfast
at the National Annual Meeting in
Grapevine, Texas, was a success, with
more than 1,350 Scouters in attendance.
Richard O. “Dick” Covey, a four-mission
space shuttle astronaut, was the
featured speaker, and he was awarded
the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award
during the meeting.
Also at the National Annual Meeting,
the special Eagle Scout project of Derek
Slinger was highlighted. His project, the
creation and distribution of a coloring
book for children in hospitals, was
featured in the last issue of the Eagletter.
It is an inspiration to the quality of
projects our Eagle Scouts do for the
betterment of man. Tom Elioupolous,
the 2004 Cooke Academic Scholarship
recipient, was also introduced and is a
great representative of our scholarship
recipients. And lastly, NESA Vice
President Glenn Adams presented the
NESA report.
We would like to announce the
commissioning of the latest Joseph
Csatari painting, “The Eagle Scout
Court of Honor” by the National Eagle
Scout Association. This painting is
completed and has been received by
the National Scouting Museum but is
not yet on display. We plan a suitable
unveiling and will have prints available
in late 2005 or early 2006.
Lastly, thanks to John McKenzie,
NESA committee member and chair of
the NESA booth at the 2005 National
Scout Jamboree, and his staff for providing Scouts and leaders attending the
jamboree the opportunity to learn about
NESA. We provided commemorative
NESA membership certificates both for
those renewing their regular membership
and those investing in a life membership.
NESA is working hard to increase the
benefits of your membership, and
we plan to have the new NESA Web
site operational by the end of 2005.
We are proud of all Eagle Scouts, and
we especially appreciate our NESA
members who make much of his
possible. Thank you!

Earning Their Wings Every Day
Eagle Scouts Prove That the Badge Is Just the Beginning
by Mark Ray
T
hese statements and many others
like them crop up at Eagle Scout
courts of honor across the
country, typically as an older Eagle
Scout challenges a fledgling Eagle to
live a life that is worthy of the badge.
What exactly does such a life look
like? It depends on the individual, of
course, but there are common threads
running through the lives of most Eagle
Scouts—common bonds that keep
them connected to each other and to
Scouting. That should come as no surprise since Eagle Scouts share so many
common experiences, though they may
be many years and miles apart.
Whether 20 years old or 90, many
Eagle Scouts strive to earn their wings
every day. Here are some of their stories.
“There is no end to the
Eagle Scout trail.”
“As an Eagle, you are
a marked man.”
“Becoming an Eagle
Scout is a great
accomplishment;
being an Eagle Scout
is a great responsibility.”
Billy Russell
When many Scouts leave for college,
they leave behind their Scout uniforms,
but Eagle Scout Billy Russell from
Georgetown, Texas, actually got more
involved in Scouting during his college
years, thanks to his membership in the
Alpha Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Omega
at the University of Texas at Austin,
where he graduated last spring.
How did he end up in APO? “I saw
the description in the Scout manual
and wanted to find out more about
the organization, so I went to an information session,” he said. “I was hooked
because I wanted to be able to stay
involved in Scouting on campus.
APO allowed me to do that.”
Russell’s chapter gives back to
Scouting in numerous ways. Members
lead four different Cub Scout packs,
and the chapter supports such Capitol
Area Council programs as Webelos
Woods, camporees, Cuborees, and golf
Billy Russell stayed connected
to Scouting through membership
in the Alpha Phi Omega chapter
at the University of Texas at Austin.
tournaments. The biggest project is the
annual Merit Badge University, now in
its fourth year.
The MBU, which was featured in
Scouting magazine last fall, brings
Scouts to campus to work on more
than 30 different merit badges. More
than 80 merit badge counselors include
APO members, university professors
and alumni, and Scouters from the
Austin area. Roughly 1,500 Scouts
participate each time the MBU is held.
But the event does more than just
help Scouts earn merit badges. It also
helps the chapter give back to Scouting
in other ways. “All proceeds of the event
go back to Scouting,” Russell said.
“Last year we gave three Eagle Scout
scholarships to the University of Texas.
We also paid for a majority of the Eagle
Scout medals given to Scouts in the
Capitol Area Council.”
Russell said being an APO member
and officer let him practice many of the
skills he learned in Scouting, foremost
among them leadership. “Many people
misunderstand leadership,” he said.
“They think it is just something you are
naturally born with. . . . I quickly
learned that is not the truth; a leader is
someone who has a vision and is able
to fulfill that vision through his own
intuition and through other people.”
Russell said he plans to stay involved
in Scouting forever. “Scouting has given
me so many opportunities in my life,”
he said. “I believe as a Scouter it is my
responsibility to pay back the organization for all it has given me.”
Corey Kline
Growing up in Bloomington, Minnesota,
Corey Kline never gave much thought to
Scouting. Then, during his freshman
3
E AG L E T T E R
year in high school, he found himself in
need of some community service hours.
A friend at the bus stop suggested he
help with another friend’s Eagle Scout
service project.
Two Eagle projects later, Kline was
hooked. He joined Troop 328 at the
beginning of his sophomore year and
by the next summer was participating in
high-adventure activities and attending
the Junior Leader Training Conference.
“I felt like I’d just stumbled onto Fort
Knox,” he said.
Joining Scouting later than most boys
gave Kline a different perspective on the
Scouting program. “I realized there was
a little more here than building fires and
tying knots,” he said. In fact, he knew
he was learning skills that would impact
his life far beyond Scouting. With this
newfound enthusiasm for Scouting to
motivate him, Kline quickly advanced
through the ranks and became an
Eagle Scout.
Corey Kline joined Scouting
later than most boys, which gave
him a different perspective on the
Scouting program. Now in his
late 20s, Kline continues to be
active in Scouting.
Kline attended college three hours
away from Bloomington, but he maintained his involvement with his home
troop during summer breaks. He also
worked with the JLTC program, served
on staff at the National Junior Leader
Instructor Camp at Philmont Scout
Ranch, and helped lead a contingent
to the 1997 National Scout Jamboree.
Now in his late 20s, Kline continues
to be active in Scouting. He’s served as a
F A L L 2005
unit commissioner and an Order of the
Arrow chapter adviser and has continued to work with JLTC and its successor
program, National Youth Leadership
Training. He also has worked on the
faculty at the Philmont Training Center
for the past four years, facilitating the
Conducting JLTC and Strictly for
Scoutmasters courses.
But perhaps his favorite time in
Scouting is when he gets to work with
older Scouts, young men who will soon
head to college or embark on careers.
“They’re about to really get it,” he said.
“They’re about to put the last 10 years
into action.”
Tad Halbach
While many Eagle Scouts remain active
in the program throughout their lives,
Tad Halbach got busy with college and
law school, and he did not reconnect
until early in his law career.
It was the mid-1980s, and the
Houston Young Lawyers Association
was looking for volunteers to restart its
Law Exploring post. Halbach stepped
forward and served as Advisor from
1986 to 1989. He also participated in
the HYLA committee that judged the
Sam Houston Area Council’s Scout Fair,
the largest Scouting show in the country.
Halbach’s next brush with Scouting
came when his oldest son joined Cub
Scouting. By now a state district judge,
Halbach tried to keep a low profile, but
he ended up taking over his son’s den in
1996 when the previous leader stepped
down. “Ever since then, I’ve been adding
square knots to my uniform,” he said.
In the years since, Halbach has served
as den leader, Webelos den leader,
pack committee member, assistant
Cubmaster, and troop committee
chairman. He has been a counselor for
the Law merit badge, has run a mocktrial program through his court, and
has participated in more than a dozen
Eagle Scout boards of review. He also
has been active on his council’s Catholic
Committee on Scouting, something he
never would have expected when he
was growing up in Dallas.
“One thing that was never a part
of Scouting for me as a boy was the
religious aspect,” he said. His family
did not attend church regularly,
and he never pursued earning a
religious emblem.
4
Tad Halbach was reconnected
with Scouting in the mid-1980s
when he agreed to serve as adviser
for the Houston Young Lawyers
Association. He has remained
active since.
In his late 30s, however, Halbach
rediscovered his faith. As a Scouter,
he has been able to share that faith by
serving on the Catholic Committee,
coordinating Scout Sunday activities,
and serving as a counselor for the Ad
Altare Dei award, the Catholic religious
emblem for Boy Scouts.
“That’s been one of the most rewarding things about getting back into
Scouting,” he said. Not surprisingly,
his involvement has earned him the
Bronze Pelican, a diocesan award for
adult Scouters.
Halbach said he has always listed
his Eagle Scout Award on his résumé.
Although the award did not get him
appointed to the bench, it did not hurt,
either. In 1996, when he first met the
Texas governor—a man named George
W. Bush—the governor said, “Oh, you’re
our Eagle Scout.”
Halbach recognizes that being an
Eagle Scout comes with a great deal
of responsibility. “It’s an obligation
you carry with you the rest of your life,”
he said.
Bob Smith
Born and raised in Tupelo, Mississippi,
Bob Smith enjoyed many adventures in
Scouting, including the 1973 National
Scout Jamboree, a Philmont trek, and a
trip to the 1975 National Order of the
Arrow Conference. Those adventures,
E AG L E T T E R
and the skills he learned along the way,
prepared him for what became a 24year career in the U.S. Army.
Smith said he joined the Army in
part because it was much like Scouting.
“Man, I can do this,” he told himself.
When he got to Army Ranger training,
he discovered that it was just like
working on the Wilderness Survival
merit badge—although it did go on
for nine weeks.
Like all soldiers, Smith traveled
widely through his career, serving in
Europe, the Middle East, and numerous
stateside postings. Wherever he went,
he tried to spread the spirit of Scouting.
In Europe, for example, his colonel put
him in charge of planning high-adventure trips for soldiers and their families
in Spain and the Mediterranean.
Smith said his Scouting background
came into play in a surprising way at the
start of the war in Kosovo. Smith’s base
in Macedonia was scheduled to host a
barbecue for the U.S. ambassador and
an array of U.S. and European officials,
and Smith’s boss tagged him to cook.
Bob Smith has drawn from his
Scouting background often during
daily life and throughout his
military career.
The morning of the barbecue,
however, Smith awoke to discover that
there was no charcoal and no lighter
fluid. Unruffled, he gathered a crew of
soldiers around the fire pit. “Are any of
y’all Boy Scouts?” he asked. “Have any
of you been to a camporee?” A few
tentative hands went up, and Smith
sent the soldiers out to scavenge firewood from around the base. When
F A L L 2005
they returned, he said, “Now, we’re
going to take one match and start a
fire.” And they did.
Of course, Smith relied on his
Scouting background for more than just
building fires. He also used it to build
bridges. “Looking at the Scout Law,
you can do things a better way,” he said.
“You can be the gatekeeper between two
cultures that are trying to annihilate
each other.”
During his Army career, Smith never
lost touch with his hometown and the
people there, including long-time professional Scouter Palmer Foster. He had
contemplated a second career in education, but Foster convinced him to go in
a different direction. And so, on June 1,
2004, Smith became district Scout executive in the same district where he had
received his Eagle Scout badge, and so
much more, three decades before.
Gilbert Lee
At age 96, Gilbert Lee is proof that the
values of Scouting last a lifetime—
which can be a very long time indeed.
A resident of Los Angeles, the lifelong
Scouter served as a Scoutmaster and
commissioner for 25 years and received
the Silver Beaver Award in 1967. After
officially retiring from Scouting, he
continued to serve on Eagle Scout
boards of review until just a few years
ago, helping to pass the torch of
Scouting to a new generation.
Lee first picked up that torch in a
surprising place—Kodaikanal, India,
where his father was building a steel
mill in the early 1920s. Lee attended
an American mission school there and
was recruited by the principal to start a
Scout troop. The principal managed to
pull together some Scout gear but pretty
much left Lee on his own. “I was acting
sort of as patrol leader, Scoutmaster,
the whole ball of wax,” he said.
Lee earned the Eagle Scout Award a
few years later. He received the award
in India; then, upon his return to
Massachusetts, he was recognized again
at a ceremony featuring Grace Coolidge,
wife of President Calvin Coolidge. It was
not his last brush with political royalty.
The then-governor of California, future
President Ronald Reagan, presented
him with the Silver Beaver Award
40 years later.
5
In the years between receiving those
two medals, Lee served as Scoutmaster
in North Hampton, Massachusetts, and
Los Angeles, where he spent a career as
an electrical field engineer for the city’s
Department of Water and Power.
Gilbert Lee has been active in
Scouting for his entire adult life.
Lee acknowledged that he does not
have much in common with today’s
Eagle Scouts other than being an Eagle
Scout, but he still notes the badge’s
importance in shaping a boy’s life. “It
really puts the finishing touch on the
individual and what his future is going
to be like,” he said.
The badge is an award, but it also is a
call to service. “It’s something you hope
to carry on and spread out among others you know,” he said. Which is just
what Gil Lee has been doing for more
than 70 years.
Not all Eagle Scouts serve as
Scoutmasters or teach at Philmont
or return to their hometowns as
Scouting professionals. But it is the
rare Eagle Scout who does not, at least
in some small way, earn his wings every
day. There truly is no end to the Eagle
Scout trail.

Scouting Experiences Fuel
Explorer’s Passion
by Mark Ray
W
hen someone asked George
Mallory why he wanted to
climb Mount Everest, the
explorer famously responded, “Because
it is there.” If you were to ask Keith
Garman why he is heading to Tibet’s
high plateau at an age when most men
are ready to retire, he would probably
answer, “Because it is there—and
because I am an Eagle Scout.”
Keith Garman
For more than half a century,
Scouting and exploration have been
the twin themes of Garman’s life, so it
is no surprise that this life member of
The Explorers Club would mount a
multiyear expedition to the roof of
the world.
Born in 1939 in rural Ohio, Garman
lived the idyllic life of a farm boy until
age 13, when his family moved to Troy,
Ohio, in search of new opportunities.
Garman protested the move and his
new surroundings by joining in childish
pranks like tossing two-by-fours out
of a lumberyard. Then he discovered
Scouting and “took off like a rocket,”
he said.
Garman became an Eagle Scout in
1954—coincidentally the 50th anniversary of the founding of The Explorers
Club. Two years later, he participated in
a nationwide contest to send an Eagle
Scout to the Antarctic, 26 years after
Paul Siple went there with Admiral
Richard Byrd. Siple himself was one
of the judges.
Although Garman was not selected as
that year’s Antarctic Scout—that honor
went to a fellow named Richard
Chappell—he retained his interest in
exploration. Eight years later, he was
inducted into The Explorers Club as the
organization’s third-youngest member.
In 2003, Garman began building support for his High Plateau Expedition, a
planned four-year effort to explore the
geographical, geophysical, and geological history of the Plateau of Tibet. In a
series of meetings across the country in
2003 and 2004, Garman outlined his
plan to take core samples up to depths
of 20,000 feet at 16 different locations
across the plateau.
Since then, he has been shuttling
back and forth between the United
States and China, including a reconnaissance trip last year that marked the
formal start of the expedition. Fittingly,
that trip occurred 100 years after
The Explorers Club was formed and
200 years after Lewis and Clark began
their exploration of the territory of the
Louisiana Purchase.
Perhaps most importantly, the start of
Garman’s expedition occurred 50 years
after he received his Eagle Scout badge.
“Until I got reinvolved in Scouting in
the last few years, I hadn’t realized how
much Scouting has meant to my life,”
Garman said. “The BSA saved me and
made me.”
And not only him. Whenever he
speaks about his expedition, Garman
talks about the importance of the
Scouting program. He points out that
the three youngest men ever elected into
The Explorers Club are Paul Siple,
Richard Chappell, and himself—Eagle
Scouts all.

DISTINGUISHED
EAGLE SCOUT
PROFILE
by Mark Ray
W
hen the folks at NASA
need a problem solver,
they know just who to call:
Col. Richard O. Covey. In 1988,
Covey piloted space shuttle Discovery
on the first shuttle mission after the
1986 Challenger disaster. Five years
later, he commanded shuttle flight
STS-61 to repair the Hubble Space
Telescope, a mission still regarded as
one of the shuttle program’s most
complex. In 2003, Covey was named
cochair (along with former Boy Scout
and astronaut Thomas Stafford) of
the Stafford-Covey Return to Flight
Task Group, charged with assessing
NASA’s implementation of the
Columbia Accident Investigation
Board’s safety recommendations.
The retired astronaut is typically
self-effacing about his problemsolving abilities. “There is always
room for volunteers in difficult
situations,” he noted. Covey is just as
self-effacing about receiving the
Distinguished Eagle Scout Award at
the BSA National Annual Meeting in
May. “This is an honor that I
never expected and am not sure
I deserve,” he said. “It is a wonderful
recognition that I will try my best
to be worthy of.”
Read Covey’s résumé, however, and
you quickly realize just how worthy
he is. After graduating from the
U.S. Air Force Academy and Purdue
University, Covey served in southeast
Asia, where he flew 339 combat
missions. He logged 5,700 hours as a
high-performance aircraft pilot, flew
on four shuttle missions, and received
five Distinguished Flying Crosses, two
Defense Distinguished Service Medals,
and the NASA Distinguished Service
Medal. For the past 10 years, he has
worked in the aerospace industry,
where he currently serves as president
of Boeing Service Company in
Colorado Springs.

Covey’s life and career have been
powered by jet fuel—and by lessons
learned in Scouting. “It was a big part
of our lives, particularly for those of us
who were military family dependents
living on base,” he said. That base
was Eglin Air Force Base in Florida,
where his father, Charles D. Covey,
was stationed. The younger Covey
participated in both Boy Scouting
and Exploring on the base, earning
his Eagle Scout badge in 1960.

“Growing up in rural northwest
Florida allowed a lot of time for
young men to participate in Scouting,”
Covey said. “Federal land, known
as the Eglin Reservation, was freely
available for camping and other
Scouting activities, and we lived in
the middle of it.”
The activities were fun, he said,
but the values were fundamental.
“The underlying base provided by
the principles of the Scout Oath and
Scout Law has served me well all my
life,” Covey said. “My father was an
Eagle Scout, and I learned these principles at home as well as from other
Scout leaders.”
Among the most important of
those principles was the concept
of citizenship. Covey said, “I have
always drawn on the fundamentals
of citizenship that I learned as a
Scout. Duty to God and country,
respect for authority, treating people
fairly, taking care of one’s self—all fit
into modern leadership.”
The other key principle was the
idea of doing one’s best. “To me, the
most important words of the Scout
Oath are ‘I will do my best,’” he said.
“They apply to everything I do and
have done: being a student, a fighter
pilot, a test pilot, an astronaut, and a
business executive—and more importantly, in being a loving and supportive husband and father.”
In that last role, Covey had a good
example to follow. “My father is my
personal ‘distinguished Eagle Scout,’”
he said. “He influenced many young
men’s lives as a Scout leader, including
mine. He would be very proud!”
Covey and his wife, Kathy, have been
married for 33 years and have two grown
daughters and one granddaughter. He
has passed on the values he learned in
Scouting to another generation, as well
as applying them to his successful career.

In Cherished Remembrance
Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, taught
Scout trailblazers to make a simple trail sign, a circle with
a dot in the middle, to indicate that they had gone home.
The following Eagle Scouts blazed many trails for us to
follow, and now they, too, have gone home.
The National Eagle Scout Association
makes every effort to recognize Eagle
Scouts for their achievements in and out
of Scouting. The Eagletter will print short
notices in the Awards and Recognitions,
In Cherished Remembrance, and Scouting
Is a Family Affair sections, and occasionally
might print original accounts of highadventure activities, heroic acts, or other
unique stories as space warrants.

Eagle Promise
I reaffirm my allegiance
To the three promises of the Scout Oath.
I thoughtfully recognize
And take upon myself
The obligations and responsibilities
Of an Eagle Scout.
On my honor I will do my best
To make my training and example,
My rank and my influence
Count strongly for better Scouting
And for better citizenship
In my troop,
In my community,
And in my contacts with other people.
To this I pledge my sacred honor.
