Three young men were recently honored for achieving the highest Boy Scout rank in a triple Eagle Scout ceremony. George Gagel, Heath Aldredge and Christopher Koehler of Statesboro First United Methodist Church’s Boy Scout Troop 332 met the requirements and earned the high honor. What makes this occasion especially unusual, besides the fact that only 4 percent of all Boy Scouts earn the Eagle rank, is the trio’s scouting history.
