Background info about Aaron


          I'm Aaron Whitfield. I'm 19 years old and I was a Boy Scout in Troop 99. I like computers a lot and do fairly well in school. I enjoy Boy Scouts a bunch. I used to be a scout when I was 12, but hated it and quit. Then, I began to work with my partner and best friend, Omar, for hours every day on Boy Scout requirements. We met at Camp Kern, August 1997, and ever since we have worked together until we became Eagles. We both wanted to receive all of the merit badges that there are. I am an Eagle Scout currently having 56 merit badges earned. For my Eagle Project I made repairs for a cementary. I am served as Troop Guide, Senior Patrol Leader (twice), and a Den Chief. I love Scouts very much as it is the best program that there is. I wish you all good luck.
