Eagle Scout Simon Arneberg, son of Tom & Beth Arneberg, is a senior at Chippewa Falls High School. Simon has led Troop 72 as Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Bugler, and Scribein his seven years as a Scout. In addition to 56 weekend campouts with the troop, and six weeks at summer camp, Simon has participated in some amazing high-adventure trips: 75 miles of canoeing at Northern Tier in the BWCA, andtwo trips to Philmont in New Mexico

(backpacking 72 and 107 miles), not to mention a 102-mile canoe trip in Northern Wisconsin, a 463-mile bicycle trip, and a week exploring South Dakota. Simon was elected to the Order of the Arrow, the “Honor Society” of Scouting, and spent a week at National Youth Leader Training. For his Eagle project, he led a team in teaching the youth at the Boys & Girls Club of Chippewa Falls how to build a PVC pipe instrument, and then taught the kids how to play it. This project was a perfect fit for Simon, since music is abig part of his life – he is a four-year letter-winner in the Chi-Hi bands, having served as the trumpet section leader and currently as the brass captain of the marching band. He also plays in the jazz band and in a small combo, “CJ and the Boys,” was selected for the State Honors Band at UW-Madison, and plays “Taps” at military funerals. In addition to Scouting and music, Simon has played soccer and tennis and ran cross country, and won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place at the Chi-Hi talent contest. (All in one year.) He went on a missions trip to Guatemala in 2016 with his Chippewa Valley Bible Church youth group. He plans to major in a STEM-related field next year.

“The only problem with Boy Scouts...is that there aren't enough of them.”

– Will Rogers

“I think the character that you learn in Scouting—working together, beinghonest with each other, being close-knit, and depending on one another on

our camping trips and while doing things—all this builds character in a young man that he takes with him into adulthood and makes him a much better citizen. And that's why I've always wanted to help Scouting -- I think it’s one of the best youth organizations that we have in this country.”

– James A. Lovell Jr., Apollo 13 Astronaut
