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.
Joshua Heimkes created a garden for preschool children at Our Savior Church in Rosemount.
Josh leveled out the corner of the playground, filled it with dirt, put in fencing, and planted a
garden. He has added plants over the past three years and hopes to help the children maintain it.
Josh will begin his senior year at Rosemount High School in September and hopes to pursue a
career in the building trades.
