​Earning Eagle
To earn Eagle, one must climb 7 Scouting ranks, earn 21 merit badges, complete an Eagle Service Project, become a leader within their troop, and prepare their final Eagle Scout Binder.
​
The Eagle Project is the culminating large requirement for a scout on his way to earning his Eagle Rank. The purpose is to provide the opportunity for the scout to plan, develop, and give leadership to others.
​
Three scouts completed their Eagle Projects over the last several months. Each of these scouts have been working toward this requirement since they were tiger cubs. The troop is very proud of them for their dedication to this journey and were happy to volunteer toward their efforts.
Completed Eagle Project at Dorris Ranch
This project entailed rebuilding a small trail bridge at Dorris Ranch. The old bridge was torn out and new concrete footings were poured for the new bridge on the first day. The new bridge was built and ready for use by the community on the second day.
Completed Eagle Project at Wild Ones Youth Ranch
This project comprised rebuilding the horse corral at Wild Ones Youth Ranch, which was falling apart. Wild Ones is a non-profit, Christian organization that teaches kids of all ages how to ride horses.

Completed Eagle Project at Mt. Pisgah
This project consisted of multiple phases, including building a base, putting up the walls, setting on the roof, installing the doors, framing the overhang, painting and finishing touches, which resulted in a new tool locker at Mt. Pisgah's plant nursery. The final result came together with help from experienced builders as well as fellow scouts, who all volunteered their time to be of service to the community.
