Bluffton Boy Scout Troop 256 currently has four Eagle Scout projects in progress in the Bluffton area. For a scout to achieve the rank of Eagle, he must lead a project sponsored by an organization that will make an improvement for the betterment of the community.
The Eagle Scout project is the culmination of a Scout's training to demonstrate his leadership capabilities and must be completed prior to the Scout's 18th birthday.
