Rob Pulliam earns Eagle rank

Rob Pulliam, a member of Troop 28 at Independent Presbyterian Church, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Rob is a senior at Indian Springs School, where he is a member of the varsity baseball and golf teams as well as the school choir, and was elected to the Judiciary Committee. A member of Independent Presbyterian Church, Rob serves on the Youth Grant Team and attended the Montreat Youth Conference. He is the son of Stacy and Scott Pulliam.

Rob’s Eagle project was to construct a landscaped pathway at the Children’s Fresh Air Farm in Bluff Park, where IPC’s Summer Learning Program provides an academic, recreational and spiritual environment to dozens of elementary children each summer. Rob completed the project with the assistance of eight other scouts from Troop 28, raised over $1,000 to fund the project and made a $570 donation to the Dale Kyle Head Playground Fund.

As a member of Troop 28 at IPC, Rob served as Assistant Patrol Leader and participated in the Northwest Trek trip to Camp Parsons in Washington, SeaBase high adventure sailing trip in the Bahamas and Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Founded in 1923, Troop 28 is one of the oldest troops in continual operation in the Vulcan District and currently has active members from eight area schools.
