Ritchie Randolph now an Eagle

Richard R. Randolph V, a member of Boy Scout Troop 53, recently received his Eagle Scout rank after completing all requirements for the top scouting honor and completion of his service projects.

As part of his requirements to reach the rank of Eagle, Randolph earned 21 merit badges; 11 were required and the others were electives. During his time in Scouts, Randolph has served in several leadership roles including senior patrol leader, patrol leader and assistant patrol leader. He also received the Order of the Arrow Award, which is the honor society of Scouts.  

For Randolph’s Eagle project, he reclaimed land that was mined years ago by building a wetlands habitat. He also set up an interactive educational display at Ruffner Mountain Nature Center.

Randolph, the son of Patti Ann and Rich Randolph, joined Boy Scouts in the spring of fifth grade and is now a junior at Mountain Brook High School. There will be a Court Of Honor ceremony at St. Peter’s Anglican Church to present him with his Eagle Scout Award.
