1962: Terry Stovall, 14, had received the Eagle Scout award, the first Clovis scout to earn the honor in 1962.
A court of honor ceremony was held at Kingswood Methodist Church.
“The Eagle Scout rank is the highest award attainable and only about one percent of Boy Scouts achieve this rank,” the Clovis News-Journal reported.
In other scouting news, Chad Lydick and Tom Black had received their “Life” badges.
A minimum of 21 badges were required for reception of the Eagle Scout rank and ten for “Life” badges, according to the newspaper.
