Eagle’s Nest

Troop 291’s Eagles… 

The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be earned in the Boy Scouts of America. It requires considerable perseverance to get there. Once achieved, the Scout is recognized by his peers, his community, and his nation, as having achieved something very significant — something few attain in their lives.

Troop 291 Eagle Scouts is an exclusive fraternity that has made a positive impact on the community. Please take the time to review the impressive list of Eagle Scouts and the projects they completed!

Troop 291 proudly presents it’s Eagle Scouts!!!
