Andrew Hartung named Eagle Scout

On Friday, August 6, Andrew Hartung celebrated his Court of Honor at Saint Andrew the Apostle Church.  The Rank of Eagle is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America.  Introduced in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men.  The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle."

Requirements to earn the rank of Eagle include at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit through the Boy Scout Oath and Law, service and leadership.  This includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads and manages.  Andrew assisted with planting 100's of trees.  Eagle Scouts are presented with a medal and a badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout.

Congratulations Andrew!
