On Saturday, Mar. 7, Boy Scout Troop 1551 held an Eagle Scout Court of Honor to recognize 10 new Eagle Scouts: Jason Kitchens, Samuel Aamodt, Miles Goodman, David Millward, Lincoln Hamaker, Brigham Essig, Isaac Chase, Michael Chase, Logen Bembrook and Jakob Bembrook.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Boy Scouts. It is quite an accomplishment considering that the Boy Scouts of America reports that only about 7% of young men who enter the Scouting program attain Eagle.

To attain the Eagle Scout rank a Scout must work his way through the first five ranks by learning skills such as camping, first aid, and personal fitness. He must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, provide leadership to his troop, and plan and execute a community service project.

Isaac Chase age 18 – Isaac is a Senior at Lee’s Summit North High School where he is very active in the Music Program performing with the Broncos Marching Band, Jazz Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Crimson Camerata, and Concert Choir. For his Eagle Scout Project Isaac gathered supplies to make blankets for Project Linus, a local nonprofit organization that provides blankets to children who are ill or in need. Isaac was able to donate over 100 completed blankets to Project Linus. For more information about this organization visit projectlinuskc.org.
