During an Eagle Court of Honor in Tampa on April 30^th, five young men received Scouting’s highest honor, the Eagle Award. The five award recipients are all part of Troop #329 based at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Tampa. Four of the Eagle Award recipients are seniors at Jesuit High School.  Having five Scouts from the same troop achieve this incredible milestone in one year is unique and impressive. It also highlights the success of the troop at St. Lawrence and shows a high level of dedication to scouting and the disciplines it entails.
