Troop 325 boy scouts don't just go on exciting adventures and learn to cook over a campfire, they work diligently and with purpose to complete all of the rank requirements to achieve the highest rank in Scouting, Eagle, by their 18th birthday.

The troop has had a high percentage of Eagle scouts over the years under the leadership of former Scoutmasters Gary Buck and Bob Plaag, and current Scoutmaster, Nancy Marx. Gary Buck is the current troop Eagle adviser. 

2013 Shorewood graduates and recent Eagle Scouts from Troop 325 are Austin Buchanen, Aaron Miller, Russell Marx, and Jonathan Gugger. 

Colin Eoff is also a 2013 Shorewood grad and previously received his Eagle rank. 

Zach Jacobsen also received the rank of Eagle in 2013 and will be graduating from King's High School next year.

Daniel Heath just completed his Eagle project this month, constructing a picnic area at Jacob's Well, a temporary shelter for women and children in Shoreline, and will be receiving his official Eagle rank soon.

Austin Springman is currently working to complete his Eagle requirements, while also being on staff at BSA Camp Brinkley this summer. Daniel and Austin will be graduating from Shorewood next June.

Scouts must complete 21 badges including required subjects like First Aid, Camping, Citizenship, and Wilderness Survival, as well as other areas of interest like Robotics, Rock Climbing, and Geology. In addition, scouts are required to do community service, perform leadership roles within the troop, learn basic skills, participate in outdoor activities, and go on at least one week long summer trip.
