2011 Court of Honor

We had a great court of honor tonight. We had approximately 100 merit badges awarded and 25 rank advancements. Our scouts have been busy the last few months and all the leaders are proud of the progress and success that our scouts have made. We had four rank advancements that were for the Life rank advancement. The troop has three scouts that have completed their Eagle Project and have earned all the required merit badges. They will be submitting their paperwork for Eagle very soon.
