Davis receives Eagle Award at Shell Hall ceremony

On Saturday, Aug. 17, Greybull resident Steele Davis, 17, was presented with his Eagle Scout award in front of his family, friends and Boy Scout Troop 312 at a ceremony held at the Shell Community Hall. The Eagle badge is both the highest honor afforded by the Boy Scouts of America [BSA] and the most difficult to achieve. Davis, who has participated in scouts since he was 6 years old, was required to earn 21 merit badges, serve his troop in a leadership role and complete a service project in his community before applying for the award. His work, conduct and character were then subject to review by a committee, which ultimately approved his ascent.
“I feel more pride than anything,” said Davis, about the award. “I am now part of a small group of scouts who have accomplished this, and I feel proud and honored to be among them.
