Two Boy Scouts from Sisters Troop 188 have earned their Eagle, Scouting's highest rank.

Six ranks must be achieved, and a project that benefits others must be completed, to earn the Eagle rank.

Will Stahn planned, organized, and led a project for COBRA (Central Oregon Battering and Rape Alliance). They needed a bookcase and shelving; the scouts built a 6-foot-by-18-foot wall organizer.

Sheridan Letzer, the manager at Home Depot, was able to get the $500 of building supplies donated. At his Eagle Award ceremony, Will's father and Scoutmaster Chuck Stahn awarded him the Eagle Badge.

Darlene Johannessen of the Bend Elks Club awarded Will a flag that had flown over the White House in Washington, D.C. Mac McKibbin gave Will a beautiful knife that he made, with an custom sheath.

They added new camping sites and did repairs and cleanup of the existing area. Scoutmaster Chuck Stahn awarded Brian his Eagle at the ceremony.

A representative from CATS (Community Action Team of Sisters) gave Brian an award for his good service. Mac McKibbin made a knife for Brian, with a custom sheath.

Morse has continued working with Troop 188, to help and encourage the other boys to strive to reach their Eagle rank.
