Last Friday evening, more than a year after J.T. Tucker’s Eagle Scout project was completed and officially approved, his accomplishment was recognized in a small, private ceremony held at Millennium Charter Academy.
The ceremony had been delayed by restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was approved in March of 2020, just before Tucker’s 17th birthday and shortly before scouting activities were suspended.
Tucker, now 18, is the son of Timmy and Mandy Tucker of Pilot Mountain. The couple also has a 10-year-old daughter, Michaela.
Tucker had chosen as his Eagle Scout project the replacement of the playground equipment, including mulch and landscaping, at his church. He and his family attend Gospel View Baptist in Dobson, where his parents serve as leaders in the youth program.
