Butler Hartley earns Eagle rank

Turner “Butler” Hartley, a member of Boy Scout Troop 53, recently received Boy Scouts of America’s highest rank of Eagle. 

On his way to Eagle Scout, Hartley earned 23 merit badges and designed and completed a service project. During his time in Scouts, he served in several leadership positions, including patrol leader and assistant patrol leader.

For his service project, Butler helped landscape a home owned Glenwood Autism and Behavioral Health Center, which provides behavioral health care and educational services. Two residents who have autism live in the home, which is located in Southside. The landscaping included the removal of a fish pond, general cleanup of the overgrown yard, planting and painting the porch. 

Butler, the son of Cece and Kenny Hartley, joined Boy Scouts in spring of 2010. He is a sophomore at Mountain Brook High School, on the varsity track team and an active member of the Canterbury United Methodist youth group. A Court of Honor was held on May 3 at Saint Peter’s Anglican Church to recognize Butler’s Eagle Scout rank.
