Ian Douglas Shaw, 17, of Smyrna was awarded Scouting’s highest rank in Eagle Court of Honor at Stewart Creek Church of Christ on July 25, 2009. Ian is the son of Tim and Charlene Shaw.

In order to achieve the rank of Eagle, a Scout must earn six other rank awards and 21 merit badges, and show leadership by planning, developing and completing a community service project. Ian has earned a total of 36 merit badges. For his Eagle leadership project, Ian organized construction of a footbridge on a rustic walking trail, now under development in the wooded part of Gregory Mill Park.

NEW PHOTOS! We are very proud of our 24 Summer Camp Scouts, they had a busy time this year. Most Scouts had 5 or 6 hours a day of classes. Eight of our 1st year Boy Scouts took Basketry, Leatherwork, First Aid and 3 hours of Greenbar, completing all but a small portion of Leatherwork. The basket kits were much improved from recent years and our Scouts really enjoyed this class. Bonnie S. instructed First Aid merit badge.
