On 20 December 2009, ten scouts from the Boy Scout Troop 758 of Carrollton, Texas, were recognised at the Eagle Scout Court of Honor, which was held at the Ismaili Jamatkhana in Plano, Texas. This prestigious rank is achieved by only five per cent of all Boy Scouts nationally.
–snip– Congressman Pete Sessions, a native of Waco, Texas, was the keynote speaker at the occasion. An Eagle Scout himself, the Congressman comes from a family with four generations of Boy Scouts.
“The trail of the Eagle does not stop here,” said Congressman Sessions, applauding the proud new Eagle Scouts. He implored them “to lead with your experiences from this achievement.” – More –
