Over 170 Scouts, Scouters, family members, and local Scout Executives attended the function. Former Navy SEAL and Eagle Scout George “Sandy” McMillan was the featured speaker at the morning Scout Sunday church service. Local Scout Executive, Civic leader, and Eagle Scout Bill Leonard gave the keynote address at the luncheon.
Troop 254 has had 72 boys attain the rank of Eagle Scout. 29 of Troop 254’s Eagle Scouts attended the luncheon and were recognized for their achievement.
During its 40 years of existence, Troop 254 has been led by 11 different Scoutmasters. Seven of the 11 were able to attend the luncheon and were thanked for their service to the troop.
