Merit Badges in the following categories were earned by: Andrew Servis- Personal Fitness and Family Life; Justin Cook, Brady Kumler and Andrew Brumley-Family Life; Andy Torres-Auto Mechanics; "T" Bentley-Aviation; and Marshall Johnston- Environmental Science.

A big congratulations goes out to each of these scouts for their hard work and dedication.
