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 completion of at least 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.
Seth Thomas Gorman completed a major community service project last year: the construction
of a space made of brick pavers from which users of the City’s disc golf course can “tee off.” Seth
organized Scouts, family, and friends to build a 12-by-6 foot space in place of a muddy area on the
course over the span of three days. Seth has worked as a recreation leader for the City. He is a
senior at Rosemount High School and plans to major in the sciences in college.
