Why?
There’s never been, until now, an UNOFFICIAL Guide to Earning Eagle.
The tips and strategies in this Guide can change your Scout’s life—now and for the rest of his life, since Eagle is a life-time award.
With two Eagle Scouts in the family (first son in 2006, second son in 2013), my wife and I are intimately familiar with the process, the challenges on the path to Eagle Scout. In the last 14 years we've been immersed in Scouting—immersed, but Outsiders.
After 14 years, and with both boys wearing their Eagle Rank, it’s time to pass on our knowledge to others. My goal is to provide guidance that may make the road to Eagle less bumpy. To clarify, and simplify the process. To ensure that every boy who wants to earn Eagle has a fair chance.
What?
The UNOFFICAL Guide to Earning Eagle book, Planning Poster, and strategy allow you, a Scouting Outsider, to see your Scout's path to Eagle clearly. From the first day he joins his Troop, you'll understand the best way to guide him to the goal--Eagle Rank.
Who?
Kent Clizbe has two sons who have earned Eagle—Eli, in 2006; and Isaac in 2013. Kent and his wife, Noli, used Scouting’s principles as guideposts in raising their boys. Observing boys raised outside of Scouting, and those raised as Scouts, it was clear to Kent that Scouting is a highly effective man-making program.
Kent’s sons both earned full 4 year college scholarships via Army ROTC. Eli served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Kent’s professional background includes counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence operations in the CIA, executive recruiting, instructional design, teaching English as a Foreign Language, refugee services, and other teaching and consulting work. He served as a linguist in the US Air Force. His education includes an MA and BA in Linguistics, and graduate work in Instructional Design and Business.
He is the author of published and upcoming books on intelligence history, political history, personal health, education, and child-rearing.
