He earned 22 merit badges and was inducted as a member of the Mescalero Chapter of the Order of Arrow. Key attended Camp Tomahawk in Utah, Emerald Bay on Catalina Island in California, Brownsea at Camp Frank Rand, Florida Sea Base, Philmont Scout Ranch, and the National Scout Jamboree in Virginia. He will be participating in the Boundary Waters High Adventure Camp in Canada next summer.
