Hontzas achieves Eagle

Friends and families of Phil Hontzas recently joined together as Troop 97, sponsored by Trinity United Methodist Church, celebrated and recognized his rank achievement of Eagle Scout.  

Phil earned 34 merit badges, served in various leadership positions and received prestigious scouting awards. Phil’s Eagle project benefited the Greater Birmingham Humane Society.

As it states in the Eagle Scout Challenge, young men who reach the rank of Eagle Scout are expected to exemplify in their daily life the principles and values expressed in the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. 

Phil graduated from Homewood High School in May and plans to attend Auburn University’s Honor’s College and major in psychology in the fall.
