Members of Boy Scout Troop 93 gathered inside Pittsboro United Methodist Church’s Family Life Center to honor Mark Crabtree, 15, who was awarded his Eagle Scout medal on Oct. 1.
Mark is the 80th scout in the troop’s 75-year history to achieve the youth organization’s highest ranking, something only 4% of all Boy Scouts nationwide attain.
The Chatham School of Science & Engineering sophomore completed his service project by transforming an unused outdoor space at the school into a landscaped haven for students and teachers.
The project took about eight months from start to finish and cost more than $7,000 in materials and labor.
