Fisher earns Eagle Scout Award
 |
Following in the steps of his grandfather, Karl Fisher earned 29 badges to complete the requirements for the highest rank one can achieve in Boy Scouts, the Eagle Scout Award, and received his pin last month.
The Rockport-Fulton High School student also received a special honor when his mother presented him with the Eagle Scout pin earned by his grandfather in 1935.
Fisher's mother, Lucia, explained her father John Flodin could not be present for the ceremony. He did, however, want his grandson to receive his Eagle Scout Award pin.
She and her husband Richard are proud of their son and his accomplishments.
Fisher's scouting experience began when he was a second grader in League City and joined the Cub Scouts.
When he moved to Rockport as a fourth grader, his scouting continued. He earned his Arrow of Light badge, the highest award for Cub Scouts.
He then joined Boy Scout Troop 49, which is knowN for having several Eagle Scout honorees. The young man's mom said some of those Eagle Scouts, and other members of Troop 49, were influential in helping Fisher continue to work toward his pin. That includes the Chester Barre family, she said.
In addition to his grandfather, Fisher also has an uncle, James Johnston of Big Spring, who also is an Eagle Scout.
The 21 badges which are listed as going toward Fisher's Eagle award are camping, citizenship in the community, citizenship in the nation, citizenship in the world, communications, emergency preparedness, environmental science, first aid, swimming, personal management, personal fitness, family life, American cultures, archery, art, canoeing, coin collecting, cooking, fire safety, fish and wildlife management, and oceanography.
The additional badges he earned are rowing, pets, shotgun, rifle, soil and water, weather, and traffic safety.
For his Eagle Scout project, Fisher conducted a food drive to stock the panty of Good Samaritans. Through the First United Methodist Church, he collected 600 pounds of food to assist the Good Samaritan Christmas basket program.
His scouting experience also includes attending the National Jamboree in Washington D.C. and Virginia in the summer of 2005, and camping at Spanish Peaks in Colorado in 2003.
The young man will be a junior at RFHS this fall where he is a member of the National Honor Society and plays on the basketball team.

Instead of presenting this to the scientific world in a peer reviewed journal, these guys publish it in this book in an attempt to sway public opinion. I could go on as many of the statements in this article are misleading, or blatantly ludicrous. Suffice it to say, it looks to me like this book is much more about influencing public opinion than any scientific review of whether human activity is causing climate change.
It is sad some people will believe this as fact. "
