Minerva First Christian Church has celebrated 55 young men as Eagle Scouts over the 83 years it has sponsored a troop.
The year 2021 has been much different.
The church’s Boy Scout Troop 150 this year has celebrated four Eagle Scouts. It is the most to receive the distinction in one year since the troop’s beginnings in 1938.
“This is a remarkable achievement in a normal time, but with a year of COVID restrictions, it lifted the troop to a higher level of difficulty to complete all of the rank requirements and complete the Eagle Scout Service Project,” Scoutmaster Dan Toalston said in a news release.
