Since becoming a Cub Scout in 1999, Charles Clayton Coshatt, 19, has always kept his sights on becoming an Eagle Scout Rank with the Boy Scouts of America. On Saturday, May 24^th 2008 his vision will come true.

Coshatt, of Boy Scout Troop 4 of St. Marks, FL will be honored at a Special Eagle Scout Ceremony to be held at the Pickin Parlour on Saturday, May 24, at 4:00 P.M. The public is invited to attend.

To earn Scouting’s highest award, Coshatt had to earn twenty-one merit badges, serves as a leader in his troop, and had to complete a major community service project.

The shelter is a 12x20 open sided structure that is used by the residents and their families to be able to be protected from the elements. The residents and staff were very grateful for this new covered area and it has enabled them to enjoy the outdoors in and kind of weather. The project came together with the help of Boy Scout Troop 4, Coshatt’s leadership, Eden Springs staff, Wakulla County Health Department staff as well as friends and family.

The Troop extends its heartfelt thanks to the community and all who supported Coshatt in his pursuit of this major accomplishment.

Coshatt has been a member of Troop 4, chartered by a group of concerned parents, for seven years. He has served the troop as Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. He also served as Den Chief to Den 6, Pack 4, also of St. Marks, for five years. Coshatt also worked for five summers at Camp Wallwood, two of which he was an Area Director for the Ecology Lodge.
