Comment on Four Kingsport friends stick together from Tiger Cubs to Eagle Scouts

Boy Scout Troop 51 celebrated four new Eagle Scouts in a joint ceremony on Sunday, Dec. 2. The four honorees - Duncan Harker, Yonathan Janka, Cole Ridings and Evan Thomas - started Scouting together as Tiger Cubs in Pack 49 in 2009, crossed over to Troop 51 in the fall of 2013, and completed their Eagle projects this past summer. Now, all sophomores at Dobyns-Bennet High School, they celebrate together - as Eagle Scouts. * Duncan Harker earned 38 merit badges, 17 more than required for Eagle rank.
