Troop 219 in Lafayette recently honored 12 young men who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Scouting America. This is the second largest class of Eagle Scouts attending one ceremony in the history of the Troop. Each young man gave back to their community in many ways over their Scouting journey, culminating with their Eagle Service Projects.
