Congratulations to Troop 119 FOUR Eagle Scout Rank recipients of 2019!  Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters, Scouts, Parent Volunteers, Charter Organization, Committee Members, Family members, and Parents/Guardians of Troop 119 Congratulate YOU on your achievements! Since 1912, the Eagle Scout rank has represented a milestone of accomplishment—perhaps without equal—that is recognized across the country and even the world. Those who have earned the Eagle Scout rank count it among their most treasured achievements. “Eagle Scout” is not just an award; it is a state of being. Those who earned it as youth continue to earn it every day as adults. That is why an Eagle Scout IS an Eagle Scout—not was.  https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/eagle-scout-rank/
