Eagle Scouts land at Eagle’s Rest Once an Eagle, always an Eagle - Eagle Scouts were invited to a re-dedication ceremony at Eagle’s Rest Park for the Winter Solstice celebration. Many scouts wore sashes filled with colorful merit badges that rep resent hundreds of hours they spent working to gain the honorable title. Here, Eagles are pictured with up coming scouts in the Boy Scouts of America organization. By Angela Reinhardt staff writer areinhardt@pickensprogress.com High atop Mt. Oglethorpe at Eagle’s Rest Park on Wednesday, Dec. 21st, Boy Scouts who have received the organization’s highest rank gathered for a re-dedication ceremony and to be honored for their achievement. The ceremony was part of a Winter Solstice celebration that also featured music from Bob Rnysz and Bill Pound. Boy Scout Troup 20 Scoutmaster Jeff Dodson began with a list of notable traits of Eagle Scouts - they’re more likely to be charitable, they’re more likely to succeed - and said receiving the title is an ac complishment that, unlike others achieved in youth, fol lows an Eagle for life. Only four to six percent of scouts achieve the rank, “be cause it’s a lot of work,” Dobson said. “Once and Eagle, always an Eagle.” Eagle Scouts were asked to state their name and the year and place they received their Eagle Scout rank. Dates ranged from the 1950s to just a few years ago. In a touching display of respect, and to of ficially re-dedicate the Ea gles, members of the audience handed the high- ranking scouts eagle feathers. The Winter Solstice cele bration is an annual event at Eagle’s Rest Park, which opened to the public just a few years ago. The event has always been held on the day of the solstice, but in the fu ture will be held on a close weekend day so more mem bers of the public can attend.
