Boy Scout Troop 16 honored Trevor Garrett Fletcher on Saturday by awarding him the rank of Eagle Scout at Beech Grove Methodist Church in Driver.

Trevor, who has been a member of Troop 16 for the past five years, earned Scouting’s highest honor after earning 41 merit badges and serving in many leadership positions, including Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.

In addition to being a Brotherhood-level member in Scouting’s Order of the Arrow honor  society, Trevor has earned the Kayaking, 50 Miler, Snorkeling, Recruiting, National Youth Leader Training and God and Country awards.

His Eagle project benefited the Chesapeake Fire Department and its at-risk youth intervention mentoring program. Trevor planned and assembled wilderness survival kits and, with the help of his fellow Scouts, taught at-risk youth wilderness survival skills during camping trips.

These youth, who had never been camping, were taken on trips in which they became “lost,” and had to use their wilderness survival skills to find their way out of the woods.

In addition to receiving an award from the Chesapeake Fire Department, Trevor has received other recognitions for his leadership skills and for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
