Court of Honor
We had a very special presentation at this Court of Honor. Eagle Scout Robert V. Burr was honored with Double Silver Palms - the highest rank ever attained in the 78 year history of Troop Seven.

For every 5 merit badges and 3 months earned beyond the rank of Eagle Scout, you can request another Board of Review and earn an Eagle Palm. Robert has earned a total of six - a Bronze, a Gold, a Silver, a second Bronze, a second Gold and a second Silver Palm - 30 merit badges beyond the requirement for Eagle for a total of 51 merit badges. Prior to Robert's record, Duffield W. Matson, who earned his Eagle rank in 1967, held the record for 33 years with a total of 43 merit badges. Robert broke Duff's record for the most number of merit badges earned in the troop in October 2000 with 46 merit badges. Robert further continued on to earn a total of 51 merit badges and six Eagle Palms, Double Silver, by January 2001.
