List of 100 Bluffton Eagle Scouts below
On Sunday, September 11, 2022, Bluffton Boy Scout troop 256 held an Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Daniel Robert Creeger at the Beaverdam Church of Christ.
Attended by family, friends, and scouts of all ages, the ceremony included a presentation of the Scout Oath and Scout Law, presentation of Parent Pins by Daniel, comments on Daniel’s experiences as a scout by Mike Metzger, recognition by the Lima Elks Club and the Eagle Scout Charge conducted by all Eagle Scouts that were present.
Daniel’s parents are Loren and Robin Creeger, and his sister is Hannah Creeger. Daniel presented the Mentor pin to his Loren and explained how his father supported him throughout the years and in his Eagle project, renovating a “ramshackle” shed at the church. The scout joked that he has actually come to enjoy scouting in recent years. Daniel is 17 years old and still has the opportunity to add to his many merit badges.
Eagle Scout is the highest advancement rank in Boy Scouting. Daniel Creeger is the 100th Bluffton Boy Scout to achieve this rank in Troops 256 (formerly 56). He explained that he joined the Bluffton troop after a Rawson troop disbanded. The Bluffton troop is sponsored by American Legion Post 382 and meets at the Sportmen’s Club at 405 S. Spring St., Bluffton.
Troop 256 has been under continuous charter since 1939. The troop is currently chartered by American Legion Post 382. Eagle Scout Darrel Groman noted that the red and white checked neck scarf is a tradition representing the fact that Bluffton scouts are always ready to eat.
