COVINGTON, Ga. Only about 8% of all Boy Scouts advance to earn its highest rank annually.
In a Newton County troop, that percentage is a little higher thanks in part to one family.
Five Eagle Scouts in Troop 222 have come from the Green family, while two girls from the same family are married to Eagle Scouts, too.
