Rosemount is fortunate to have a large number of young people who reach the highest levels of Scouting
programs. The “Eagle Scout” designation is the highest advancement rank for Boy Scouts. About seven
percent of Scouts complete the work to achieve the ranking. It requires progressing through the stages of
Scouting beginning with “Tenderfoot,” and performing the work to earn 21 merit badges. Eagle Scouts
also must plan, develop, and give leadership to a service project for any religious organization, school, or
community.
The City Council tonight continues its tradition of honoring these accomplishments by commending a
Rosemount student who achieved the Eagle rank.
Brett Diver led a landscaping project for his church in Apple Valley. It involved digging out a
space that was three feet by 400 yards. He planted grass, mulched the area, and weeded it. Brett is a
senior at Rosemount High School. He is interested in studying engineering after graduation and is
considering options in the military and at colleges.
