Eagle Scouts

Only about 2% of all Boy Scouts ever achieve the highest rank: Eagle.

As of April, 2007, a total of 47 of our scouts had earned the Eagle rank since the Troop was founded in 1991.  Some of them have continued to be active in the Troop and in Boy Scouting and have earned a combined total of nine Eagle Palm awards.

All of you scouts of Troop 828, keep up the hard work, and one day you will find your name on the Troop 828 Eagle Scout plaque!!!
