In the Boy Scouts of America, Eagle is the highest rank a scout can achieve. In order to earn the rank, scouts must fulfill requirements in leadership, service and outdoor skills, according to the National Eagle Scout Association.
Boy Scouts is a game with a purpose, where boys learn and grow into being honorable citizens and servant-leaders.
Founded in 1933 and sponsored by St. John the Divine Episcopal Church, Troop 55 is the largest Boy Scout Troop in the U.S. with 256 registered scouts and 166 registered adults. During the recent 2015-2016 school year, Troop 55 celebrated 12 eagle scouts, performed more than 2,200 service hours in the Houston community, awarded 801 merit badges and supported local new troops through donations of time and money. To date, Troop 55 has honored 537 Eagle scouts.
Recent Eagle scout projects included new structures and donations at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church, Yellowstone Academy, Agape, Bellaire Nature Discovery Center, Emergency Aid Coalition, Nehemiah Center, Houston Area Women’s Center, Volunteers of Animal Protection, the Salvation Army, Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, Houston Urban Debate League, Seeway Children’s Center in Tanzania and Texas Children’s Hospital.
