Honestly, I'm not trying to rain on their parade, but what is so historical about this? That they had 12 Eagles in one year from a roster of 60? We'll have 8 or 9 this year wit hthe same size roster. We had 12 some years back. We won't do an 8 Eagle COH as 4 of the boys have already had their COH. Is that what is historical, that they did a mass COH? Is it because they are black? I congratulate any Scout on earning Eagle as it is a major accomplishment. I think these 12 boys should get their horn tooted a little with an article in the paper. I'm just not sure why it is historical.

Great accomplishment but I gotta say, so what?

There have neem several units who have had more Eagles in a year. When I was a cout, we had 7 Eagles at one COH.

 

Take a look at the story, The operative word is between 12 and Boy Scout.
