    A Court of Honor ceremony took place last week in Plymouth Township Park celebrating theaccomplishments of three Eagle Scouts from local Troop 1537. Colin McHugh, Luke Every and Joe Scannell each achieved the prestigious honor. The Eagle Scout rank is the highest and most prestigious rank attainable in the Scouting program of Scouting America. It’s a significant achievement, with only a small percentage of Scouts ever reaching the hard-earned level. To earn the Eagle rank, Scouts must demonstrate Scout spirit, leadership, and service, including completing a substantial community service project and have been a Life Scout for at least six months and earn a minimum of 21 merit badges. Plymouth Township Trustee John Stewart, also an Eagle Scout, was on hand to congratulate the three Scouts. A crowd of more than 85 friends, relatives and supporters was on hand to honor the new Eagles.
