On January 17, five Norfolk boys were recognized for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award conferred by the Boy Scouts of America. At a ceremony attended by families, friends, and local dignitaries, the boys were honored for their commitment and service to their communities and Scouting. The ceremony, known as the Eagle Scout Court of Honor, was held at King Philip Middle School and recognized the following boys from Norfolk Troop 80: Devin Burns, John Gage, Ben Grant, Peter Hogan, and Stephen McKinney. Norfolk Scoutmaster David Lutes facilitated the ceremony. Steeped in tradition, the Court of Honor acknowledges the efforts and purpose of Scouting, which is character-building and citizenshiptraining through service and leadership. Throughout history, the eagle has been a symbol of power, valor, courage, and authority. In 1911, the Boy Scouts of America chose the eagle to represent the highest of Scouting achievements.

As they rose through the ranks of Scouting, each boy earned numerous merit badges and completed an individual Eagle Scout project and an Eagle Scout Board of Review. The Eagle Scout project must be developed, planned, and led by the scout, and benefit a religious, school, or community organization. Nationally, only about 7% of Boy Scouts achieve the Eagle rank. Devin Burns, a Franklin High School senior, didn’t quit Scouting when his friends dropped the activity. Instead, he decided to find another troop and was welcomed by Troop 80 in Norfolk. For his Eagle project, he decided to renovate a large room at Wrentham Developmental Center. With the help of family and other Scouts, Burns repaired damage to the 10-foot high walls and then painted them a sea blue color. Working with his sister, he created an ocean mural on the walls, based on the movie “Finding Nemo.” The makeover took over 80 hours, and was a very
