Eagle Scout Recipients at Falls Church High School

Falls Church High School Seniors Kendall Trautz, Andrew Jackson, and Ian Stocking receive Eagle Scout Award.

Kendall Trautz, Andrew Jackson, and Ian Stocking were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in Boy Scouts on Saturday, 2 May 2015.

Trautz, Jackson, and Stocking are members of Boy Scout Troop 1532 based at St Ambrose Catholic Church in Annandale, Va. All boys joined Scouting in 2002 as Tiger Cubs and advanced through the ranks as Cub Scout to Webelos, receiving the arrow of light and becoming Boy Scouts in 2008.

To earn the rank of Eagle, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges and demonstrate leadership and community service by organizing and carrying out an Eagle project. Trautz, Jackson, and Stocking successfully completed their respective projects, and completed their Board of Reviews earlier this year.
