Olympic Dream Comes True for NCAC Eagle Scout

July 26, 2024 by Mickey Nemier

UPDATE: On August 3, 2024, NCAC Eagle Scout Christian Tabash and the U.S. Men’s Eight Rowing took the Bronze medal at the Paris Olympics!

We are excited to cheer on Christian Tabash in Men’s Eight Rowing, who earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the National Capital Area Council! Christian was a member of Troop 976 in Alexandria, Virginia. He is one of 13 Eagle Scouts competing on Team USA in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Daniel Glass, one of his Scoutmasters on his journey to Eagle, tells us, “Christian was a highly disciplined athlete all through high school at Gonzaga and showed everyone that you CAN balance sports and scouting.  He also rowed for Harvard.”

Aaron on Scouting reports, “He continued to develop his skills in college. At Harvard, he showed remarkable improvement each year, with the only hiccup being a season that was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a graduate student at the University of California, he developed his skills even further, eventually qualifying for his first Olympic Games.”

On Monday, July 29, Team USA earn 1st in Heat 1, so Tune in on Saturday, August 3, to watch Christian and his team compete in the Mens Eight Rowing Finals!

Learn more from the article on Aaron on Scouting.
