Boy Scout Troop 372

Eagles Nest

An Eagle Scout is a Scout with the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 1.7 million young men. The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".

Troop 372 is very proud of our growing Eagles Nest. Our troop is committed to working with every boy who is willing to work his way towards Eagle Summit. Our success rate for boys reaching First class and staying involved till they turn 18 is 100% Eagle. No other troop in Scottsville has such a high success rate. The following scouts have risen to the highest rank Boys Scouts can earn.
