The Bulloch County Courthouse square has a new permanent fixture thanks to a local Eagle Scout project completed under the direction of 15-year-old Statesboro High School student Cole Johnson, member of Troop 342 sponsored by Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church. The unveiling of an official, permanent flag retirement box took place Tuesday with fellow troop members, troop leaders and local law enforcement officials in attendance. Johnson, the son of Ken and Angela Johnson, has taken part in Scouting for over five years and came up with the idea for the project a couple of years ago.
