Thomas awarded Eagle at Canterbury

William Henry Thomas was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on Jan. 6 at a Court of Honor ceremony held at the Scout Building at Canterbury United Methodist Church. Thomas is a member of Troop 63 under Scoutmaster Harold Wells.

As a Cub Scout, Thomas earned the Arrow of Light award. He has been a member of Troop 63 since 2006, and during that time he earned 28 merit badges, seven more than the 21 required to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. 

Thomas’s Eagle project was to build a retaining wall and landscape a median at Mountain Brook High School. The project involved stacking 400 blocks for the retaining wall and planting 90 plants.

Thomas is the son of Susanne and Jeff Thomas of Mountain Brook.
