Deavan Scott has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He was honored at an event Friday at Community Health Professionals. A large crowd of friends and family filled the room in recognition of his accomplishment.

His project was implementing a youth robotics program at the Ada Public Library.
Deavan, 15, who is homeschooled, is the son of Craig and Rosanna Scott. He has been involved in Scouting since he became a Tiger at the age of 7. He enjoys camping and outdoor activities.

To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, one must successfully complete all previous ranks (Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life) as well as earn at least 21 merit badges and complete a project.

He is a member of Scout Troop 124 led by Scoutmaster Jeff Kurtz and Assistant Scoutmaster Tom Lehman.

In addition  to Scouting, Deavan is involved in Lima Community Church, 4H, and plays lacrosse.
