Mountain Brook’s Hallman earns Eagle Scout rank

Conyers Harris Hallman, a member of Boy Scout Troop 63 at Canterbury United Methodist Church, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Hallman was recognized during a Court of Honor ceremony March 6 at Canterbury United Methodist Church. His grandfather Terry Conn and his uncle Jeffrey Conn were also both Eagle Scouts. 

Hallman has been active in Troop 63 since crossing over and receiving his Arrow of Light from Cub Scouts. He has served in the positions of Assistant Patrol Leader and Quartermaster. He earned 22 merit badges and attended a Boy Scout Leadership Conference in August at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. 

For his Eagle project, Hallman built a handicap accessible ramp for the main house of Grace House Ministries, located in Fairfield, Alabama. Grace House Ministries is a residential group home facility serving girls ages 6-21 from Birmingham and surrounding areas on a long-term basis. These girls have come from crisis backgrounds with the commitment to develop into mature, Godly women. Through his fundraising for the project, Hallman was able to pay for the building materials to build the ramp, as well as present a check to Grace House Ministries for $1,500 to be used on other home improvements. 

Hallman is currently a freshman at Woodberry Forest School in Woodberry Forest, Virginia, where he was a member of the WFS Bengal and JV football teams, JV track team and is currently on the JV lacrosse team. Hallman sings in the Woodberry Forest Boys Choir and is also a member of the Rod and Gun Club. 

He is the son of Kyle and Heidi Hallman of Mountain Brook and the grandson of Mrs. Bonnie Conn of Vestavia and Mrs. Phyllis Hallman of Tucson, Arizona.
