qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, troop 692, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.

activities since starting in Boy Scouts in second grade. Jesse has 
earned 34 merit badges, and served as a scribe, patrol leader, 
assistant senior patrol leader, tribesman, and a brave in the tribe of 
mic-o-say. He has also been involved in other activities, including
