Troop 861 Eagle Scouts
Troop 861 has awarded over 200 young men, Scouting's highest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout. Scouts that have earned this rare award have demonstrated a variety of skills, earned over 21 merit badges, displayed and held leadership positions, planned and led a service project. It is not an award that can be done overnight, there are ranks and badges that must be earned over time. Only about four percent of all Scouts earn the rank of Eagle Scout, Troop 861 has had an average of almost four Scouts earn the rank of Eagle every year since its beginning. Jess Bickel has the distinction of being the troop's first Eagle Scout, he was awarded this prestigious rank in March of 1964, three years after the troop's founding.
