He is a member of Troop 1 in Logan, UT, which holds the title for being the "Oldest troop west of the Mississippi River". Founded in 1910, this troop is as old as the scouting movement in America. Troop 1 is the only community troop in Logan and as such attracts boys from all religious denominations. While Troop 1 has had other Jewish boys in their ranks, they have not had a boy advance all the way to Eagle Scout.
There have been other Jewish Eagle Scouts in Utah. Notably, there is a Jewish Scout troop in Salt Lake City, and there have been at least two (or more) Jewish Eagle Scouts in Ogden. As a matter of fact, they were/are members of our synagogue.
