Scouts
from page B1
pinned the Eagle Scout
Badge on them before their
red Boy Scout scarf was
exchanged for a blue Eagle
Scout one. Then the scouts
put pins on their parents and
a mentor who helped them
along the way. Each boy was
also presented with a flag
that flew over the Capitol.
Wilkins, 16, like the other
two new Eagles, started as a
Cub Scout. He said scouting
has opened many doors for
him.
"It gave me different
experiences that I would
have never experienced," he
said.
Wilkins said he'd
dreamed of being an Eagle
Scout since attending an
Eagle Scout Ceremony back
during his Cub Scout years.
He was honored to finally
have his dream come true.
When Banks. 15, gave his
remarks, he thanked all those
who helped him on the way.
He said his mother, Shelley
Noisette, was very support
ive.
"She always encouraged
and sometimes forced me to
complete my merit badges,"
said Banks with a smile.
Banks said that he
learned many things as a
scout, including the proper
way to hold a flag and how to
change a bicycle chain. But
the most important thing he
said he learned was leader
ship.
Durham, 15, like the
other two Eagles, did a com
munity service project to
earn his Eagle badge. He
conducted a blood drive with

the Red Cross, which drew
40 donors. To promote his
blood drive, he even
appeared on WXII TV. He
was excited that his hard
work paid off.
"I feel like it's an honor,"
said Durham. "I can't explain
it but I just feel great inside."
Hi? mother, Evelyn
Durham, felt great as well.
She said that with the many
negative influences in socie
ty on young men, scouting is
a great way to guide them to
the right path in life.
"It's very important with
our youth today to instill val
ues in them that are posi
tive," said Evelyn Durham.
Many commendations
were read congratulating the
scouts, including ones from
Governor Beverly Perdue
and State Sen. Linda Garrou.
Brigadier General James
Gorham of Kenersville was
the keynote speaker. Last
year, Gorham became the
first African-American
appointed to a General
Officer position in the N.C.
National Guard.
