The Oyster And the Eagle
When Our Creator made the oyster, he guaranteed him social security. He built the oyster a house, a shell to protect him from his enemies. When hungry, the oyster simply opens his shell, and the food rushes in.
But, when Our Creator made the EAGLE, he said, "The blue sky is the limit. Go and build your house." So, the EAGLE went and built his house upon the highest mountain peak, where storms threatened him every day. For food, he must fly through miles of rain and snow and wind.
The EAGLE.....not the oyster.....is the symbol of the United States of America and Scouting's highest award.

Aptly named, in my opinion.
Attaining Eagle Scout status is truly a young man's high achievement. Those who get this award reach for higher life goals...as the eagle soars.
Well put. Tis true, too.
