Colter is the 15 year old son of former Hugoton residents, Stacie and Jason Robertson. Colter’s proud grandparents are Rex and RoGlenda Coulter and Dean and Jeanette Robertson.

Colter has been in scouting ever since he was a small boy. He has worked hard over the years earning the badges that would lead him to earning his Eagle Rank.

The Rank of Eagle Scout is the highest and most honored in the Boy Scouts of America. Young men who have achieved this rank in the past have almost universally risen to the highly respected positions in their chosen vocational pursuits and have retained into their adult years the ideals of community service which they were taught as Scouts.

The Texas State Scout Leader came to the Eagle ceremony and gave the five young men Colter has been together in Scouts with, a talk. He included how proud he was of them and that only around two percent of Scouts make it to the Rank of Eagle.

In 2024 Colter was searching for a project for his final scout award. Andrews, Tx. where Colter and his family live, had the perfect opportunity for Colter. Andrews has a Bird Viewing area that needed plenty of work that could be conducive for an Eagle Scout project. Colter chose the project of building new birdhouses to replace the old and outdated ones.

Since moving to Andrews, Colter has been in scouting with five of the same boys. Two of these boys, Aramis and Canyon, have become close friends with Colter. Aramis chose repairing a platform for viewing the birds.

Colter researched different size and shape birdhouses for different birds, and built them using non-toxic paint in earth tone colors. He then installed the new birdhouses with a little help from his parents and fellow Scout, Canyon.

When being interviewed by the local Andrew’s newspaper Colter said, “I am quite happy that I have finished this project working towards my Eagle.” Colter noted, “It has been a good experience. I hope that some kids will have the same opportunities that I have and get to see and do all the things I have done in Scouts. I hope to use my experience in Scouts for my future job.” Colter also added, “Hopefully this will inspire kids and adults to get outside more and enjoy looking at the different types of birds in Andrews. This is a nice ending to a long journey.”

Colter wrote a Letter of Ambition as a part of his Eagle requirements. In his letter he told of his goals and plans including: that he plans to get all A’s and B’s in his classes; stay in top physical shape, this goes with his weightlifting and powerlifting competitions; he has always wanted to join the Marines; then college; possibly become a cop, detective, swat, firefighter or paramedic; volunteer at the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America; and just be a role model and friend to children in the foster system.

He also wrote, “So that brings an end to my goals and asperations that I have planned out for my future. Thank you for reading my application for Eagle Scout.”

So proud of you Colter Cade. Congratulations.
