Induction of our new scouts took place first, with Sharif B., Anthony C., Charlie M., John F. and Mike S. being welcomed and awarded neckerchiefs.
Several sets of merit badges, meritorious service warrants and special event attendance awards were passed out (click on these links below for full lists).
The Timberwolves received the Honor Patrol award, so they will be eating first and receiving various other perks for their high level of participation in the life of Troop 285. Second and third places went to the Badgers and the Scorpions.
The main event of the evening was the Eagle Scout rank earned by Ryan Clark, Troop 285's one hundred forty-fifth Eagle! A special speaker, Tom Walker, gave the Eagle recognition speech. Ryan's Eagle project was playground improvement at Hope Christian School, which he attends. Ryan achieved the Eagle Rank on August 31, 1998.
