Eagles Nest

A tribute to those scouts who have earned their Eagle Scout Badge, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America. Attaining the rank of Eagle Scout is an outstanding achievement that is widely recognized as an indication of exceptional character, dedication, community service and leadership.

Troop 61 is extremely proud of the more than 300 scouts from our troop that have earned the rank of Eagle. This is a true testament to the spirit and tenacity of the scouts, the dedication of our adult leaders and the strength of our scouting program.

Congratulations on a job well done, to each of you, and to your parents. You have much to be proud of.
