Virginia VFW Eagle Scout of the Year
Judging Team - April 9, 2011
Virginia Scouting team takes Scout of the year applicants to Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge for 4 day “Price of Freedom” conference for Eagle Scouts.
The program was fabulous providing Scouts
the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with Thomas Jefferson
and Alexander Hamilton about how the government should be
organized. They also worked with two college professors to
review strategies and effects on individual freedoms as the
result of implementation of various laws. A tour of We wrapped up the event with a trip to Constitution Hall and the Liberty Bell and of course a Philadelphia Hoagie for lunch. It was a fantastic experience every Eagle Scout should experience. One of the key things at Freedoms Foundation is the Medal of Honor Grove with a separate state area and obelisk; with names of MOH holders form that state for all 50 states. It is in need of maintenance and support. Several states have placed their flag n their section. This is an open opportunity for VFW veterans to help maintain this permanent recognition of all MOH holders.
