Earning the rank of Eagle Scout, as most know, is prestigious with high standards, and according to scouting.org, only about six percent of all Scouts BSA will earn the highest level of Eagle, and there’ve been over 2.75 million Eagle Scouts since 1912.
Not everyone will reach the honor of Eagle Scout, but Edna’s Austin Sommerfeld did late last year.
Sommerfeld said he’s been working toward Eagle since he was in the sixth grade when he crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. He’s in Troop 138, with his advisor/ scoutmaster, William Reeves, and assistant scoutmaster Justin Sommerfeld.
