Since 1910, Boy Scouts of America (BSA), has taught youth skills they can use throughout their lives. In 2019, BSA changed their name to Scouts BSA after they began allowing female scouts in gender specific troops. The objective of Scouts BSA was to teach young men and women character, citizenship, personal fitness and leadership. 

Eagle scout is the highest rank attainable in Scouts BSA. This rank can only be accomplished after one completes all of the preceding ranks: scout, tenderfoot, second class, first class, star and life. To earn the eagle scout rank, a scout must be a life scout for at least six months, serve in a leadership position for six months, receive a total of 21 merit badges and direct a service project.

Many prominent eagle scouts have made a positive impact at Green Hope by directing service projects at the school. The GH Falcon interviewed five former and current students about their eagle scout projects.

Parker Morrissette graduated from Green Hope in 2018, and earned his eagle rank in 2016. He currently is the marketing director for the Chick-Fil-A at Capital Crossing and Falls Village. Morrissette built these tables for Green Hope's lacrosse and football team to store equipment on them. Morrissette said, "I wanted a project that was significant to me, something I would take pride in. I loved playing lacrosse and football for Green Hope and I wanted to do something that would support the athletic program. This project means a lot to me because it represents a huge milestone in my life." Photo used with permission from Parker Morrissette.
