Last nights Blue and Gold Ceremony for Pack 494 in Valley Center.

02/06/2026

Congratulations to Kayden Lankford, Eagle Scout from Troop 494, for winning 1 of the 3 Gore Scholarships to attend WSU this fall (out of 528 applications). The leadership training he learned through Scouting as he earned his Eagle Scout Rank helped contribute to this achievement: https://www.wichita.edu/.../news/2026/01-jan/2026gore_1.php

Lankford will major in psychology at Wichita State and has plans to go into marriage and family counseling. At Valley Center High School, he serves as the Student Council senior class vice president, is a student leader and speaker in Fellowship of Christian Athletes and a link leader in Link Crew. He is an Eagle Scout, homecoming king nominee and Chick-Fil-A team member. Lankford organized Baskets for Captives, an event that raised more than $2,500 for Project Rescue, which is a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and restoring survivors of sexual exploitation, slavery and human trafficking.

Lankford’s scoutmaster, Adam Dunn, wrote that while the journey to become an Eagle Scout is often demanding: “Kayden embraced every part of that challenge. His dedication never wavered. What impressed me even more was his willingness to lift others up along the way. During his six months as senior patrol leader, he guided our troop with confidence and integrity, serving not just as a leader, but as a mentor to younger scouts pursuing their own goals.”

Amanda Leighton, Lankford’s language arts teacher at Valley Center High School, wrote: "Kayden’s commitment to service, devotion to his values, and genuine respect for his community will allow him to contribute meaningfully to campus life academically, socially, and ethically. He understands that leadership is not about recognition, but about consistency, humility and modeling uncompromising character. Simply stated, Kayden Lankford is a difference-maker."
Great job, Kayden!
