Troop 280 is proud to recognize and congratulate Scout Nathan Lough for attaining Scouts BSA’s highest rank, the Eagle Scout Award.
Nathan was recognized during Troop 280’s Court of Honor ceremony held Sept. 22, 2025.
In preparing to be an Eagle Scout, Nathan learned survival skills, served in troop leadership positions such as quartermaster, patrol leader and assistant senior patrol leader, earned 13 Eagle required and nine elective merit badges and camped a total of 37 nights. Nathan spent at least 16 hours on service projects on top of the many hours spent on his Eagle Scout service project.
By leaning into his love of music, Nathan completed his Trail to Eagle with a service project that would benefit seniors in the community. He organized a group of his fellow musicians to perform a series of jazz concerts for the residents of Westminster Woods. The concerts were a great success and very much appreciated by the residents.
Nathan has lived the Scout Oath, Motto and Law. He has been a great mentor to younger scouts in the troop.
