On August 15th, 2022, Will Symonds, Orion Kotas, and Nicolas Lopez had their Eagle Court of Honor, where they received recognition for earning Eagle Scout Rank. These three Scouts are members of Troop 643 in Evans, GA.  

The Eagle Scout rank is the highest and most prestigious achievement in Scouting. To earn Eagle rank, Scouts must earn at least 21 merit badges, fulfill leadership roles, display outdoor skills, demonstrate by example the Scout Oath and Law, and complete a comprehensive service project in the community.  Highly respected, the title of Eagle Scout carries with it special significance not only in Scouting but also in school, business, and the community. 

Symonds has been a Scout since 2011 and earned a total of 32 merit badges. He completed his Eagle Scout project in December 2021. His project was a Vermiculture Storage Shed and it took him over 153 hours to complete.  

Kotas has been a Scout since 2010 and earned a total of 26 merit badges. He completed his Eagle Scout project in October 2021. His project was a Guatemala Donation Drive, and it took him over 20 hours to complete.  

Lopez has been a Scout since 2010 and earned a total of 28 merit badges. He completed his Eagle Scout project in January 2022. His project was a Dog House Build and Donation, and it took him over 97 hours to complete.
