James Benton Collier III, a member of Boy Scout Troop 28, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. His Eagle project took place at the Westover campus of the King’s Home and turned an underused area into a recreational area complete with five stained picnic tables, mulch and 10 shade trees. The area will be used for relaxing and eating outdoors as well as for individual and group meetings.
In addition to raising funds for the project, Collier was able to contribute $600 towards the King’s Home of Alabama general fund.
During his path to Eagle, Collier earned 27 merit badges and was awarded the Order of the Arrow and God and Country designations.
He has served in several leadership roles for Troop 28, logged 41 nights camping and over 100 hours of service work.
Collier is a sophomore at Mountain Brook High School where he is a member of the junior varsity basketball team. He is an active member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. He is the son of Allison and Jimmy Collier, brother to Claire and Adelia, and the grandson of Mrs. Pam Collier and the late Dr. Jim Collier and Mr. Richard Dorman and Dr. Maggi O’Brien and Ms. Millie McNeil and Mr. Stephen Martin.
