Crawford Lee Voigt becomes Eagle Scout

Crawford Lee Voigt, a member of Boy Scout Troop 28 at Independent Presbyterian Church, was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on Nov. 12.

For his Eagle Scout Project, Voigt designed and built a new horse pen at The Red Barn, a faith-based charity in Leeds that provides equine assisted activities to individuals of all abilities and circumstances, especially children. The pen was designed so that guests at The Red Barn may closely interact with horses. 

As a member of Troop 28, Voigt earned 26 merit badges and served as Assistant Sr. Patrol Leader and Historian. He went to Sea Base High Adventure Camp in The Bahamas and was his crew’s leader at Philmont High Adventure Scout Ranch in New Mexico. 

During his six years of involvement in the troop, he hiked more than 200 miles and spent more than 70 nights camping.  He was also inducted into Order of the Arrow, scouting’s national honor society.

Voigt, a Mountain Brook High School senior, is involved in athletics and extracurricular activities. He is a middle-distance runner on the varsity track team and is a member of the cross-country team, the Croquet Club, the National Honor Society and also participates in charitable activities such as Relay for Life. He will continue his education at Auburn University, with a current interest in the field of engineering.

Voigt is the son of Sandra and Bill Voigt of Mountain Brook and the grandson of Jane Mullins and Evelyn Voigt, both of Mountain Brook.
