At age 75, Sam Jones is actually among a select group of older men who had their Eagles pinned on them later in life.
Jones says the moment that happened within the last few weeks is a moment he’s waited for his entire life.
“I, at that moment, couldn’t deny what they are saying. I could not deny what my mother was going through to get me in scouting,” said Jone. Jones admits he lost out on the honor that usually goes to boys who’ve achieved Eagle Status, but never truly lost one key feeling.Jones attended the University of Michigan, served in Vietnam, and continued to serve his country living a life that he described as true to the ideals of the Scouts.
At the fundraiser, Jones says a story about NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong changed him. A chaplain attending the fundraiser described a story of visiting the home of the first person to set foot on the moon and said one of Armstrong’s most prominent home decorations was his Eagle Scout Pin. While sharing the story, the chaplain asked for Eagle Scouts at the fundraiser to stand, and Jones stood.
