Trail to Eagle

Troop 17 has been extraordinarily successful in having its scouts reach the highest level of achievement, Eagle Rank, since its founding 90 years ago.  And despite the competing activities scout’s face in the 21st century and the impact of COVID-19 on organizations world wide, at Troop 17 in the 2020’s, thus far, we have had 19 scouts achieve this coveted goal, placing us in the very top all of the 60+ Troops, both big and small, in our Virginia Headwaters Council.  The bottom line is we believe we know how to inspire your scouts to stay engaged in scouting and reach the finish line on the Trail to Eagle!

2020: 1 new Eagle Scout
