Four Eagle Scouts in One Family!

Posted on by Carl Robbins

IMG_0594-001Last Saturday night I had the great honor to attend the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for WRPC member Thomas Wade.

If you haven’t met him, Thomas is a high school junior and a cross country runner at Eastside, a delightful and accomplished young believer.

The next time you are at WRPC you can go and inspect his Eagle Scout project- Thomas oversaw the construction of decks and ramps for the Greenville Classical Academy complex.

Thomas’s clear Christian commitment was on display at the ceremony – from the immense volume of Scripture read, to the homily from his father Mike and the prayers and the testimonies of others.

But the most amazing aspect of the whole evening was that Thomas followed all his older brothers (Ben, James, and Daniel) in this accomplishment! The scoutmaster awarding the status said he’d never seen one family produce four Eagle Scouts.

Congratulations to Thomas and to his parents Mike and Linda.
