Photos submitted Troop 119 had 19 Scouts who received a total of 90 merit badges and eight rank advancements. The Court of Honor where these were presented was held recently at First United Methodist Church, in Brookhaven. Scouts earned the merit badges over the course of 2017, including summer and winter camps.

Scoutmaster Rollin Roberts said only six students of the 100 males graduating from Brookhaven High School this year have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. That’s six percent. Five of these are members of Troop 119, sponsored by First United Methodist Church, Brookhaven. Troop 119 is one of the oldest troops in the United States, having been chartered in 1910. Pictured here are four young men recognized as Eagle Scouts in early 2017. They are, from left: Ben Doty, Andrew Knot, Jack Lowery and Clayton Roberts.
