qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the

award of Eagle Scout.

Scout activities. Over the years Nicholas has been involved in 
Scouting, he has earned 31 merit badges and held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as Patrol Leader, Den Chief, Quartermaster, 
Librarian, Troop Guide and Senior Patrol Leader. Nicholas is also a 
Brotherhood Member in the Order of the Arrow and a Warrior in the Tribe

Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary in Liberty, Missouri. Nicholas has 
also attended the National High Adventures Camp, and has earned the 12 
Month Camper Award and the 100 Nights Camper Award.
