Lafayette 's Boy Scout Troop 204 will honor 14 Scouts for achieving the Eagle Scout Rank at the troop's 67th Eagle Court of Honor. Eagle Scout is the highest rank in the Scouts BSA | Boy Scouts of America and these Scouts will be honored at 1 p.m. March 21 at Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church, 49 Knox Drive, Lafayette. Thirteen of these Scouts' Eagle Projects were mentioned in the March 4 issue of Lamorinda Weekly, but Oliver Lane's project was inadvertently omitted from the article.
To attain the Eagle Scout rank, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges including 13 Eagle-required badges, demonstrate leadership and Scout Spirit, and successfully complete an approved Eagle Service Project. Troop 204 Eagle Scouts have also attended the annual 50-mile backpacking trips, including planning and leading a trek on a nine-day trip.
Lane, in partnership with the Lafayette Historical Society and the Lafayette Library, installed auto shop flooring beneath the Historical Society's antique fire engine "Old Betsy". Upon completion of the floor, he cleaned the Historical Society's exhibit cage.
