Rosemount is fortunate to have a large number of young people who reach what the Boy Scouts of
America describes as “a milestone of accomplishment.” 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.
Jonathan Meaden helped St. Joseph’s School by repainting the playground. He added markings
for basketball, hopscotch, and foursquare. The most notable feature of the design is a shamrock
that is about 20 feet in diameter. Jonathan graduated last month from Rosemount High School and
will head soon to St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in Winona to major in criminal justice.
