Park Rapids Boy Scout Troop 58 received special recognition at its spring court of honor Monday, April 17 at the Otto Hendrickson American Legion Post 212 in Park Rapids.
Legion Post 212 has been Troop 58’s charter sponsor for more than 80 years.
The program for this spring’s court of honor was developed and led by new 1st Class Scout Ryan Cook, assisted by Scout Zach Harju. Their introduction included a visual presentation of the 12 points of the Scout Law.
More than 30 merit badges were then presented to the boys of the troop, along with CyberChip cards, camp patches and rank advancements for those journeying the trail to Eagle.
Eagle Scout Jayson Ward was presented two palms – a gold and a silver – for earning an additional 15 merit badges beyond the 21 required to advance to Eagle rank.
