Seven achieve Eagle Scout ranking, a rarity in club

Troop 746 of the Boy Scouts of America honored the largest batch of Eagle Scouts in the group’s history Tuesday night.

An Eagle Scout Court of Honor named seven new Eagle Scouts at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which sponsors the troop.

Only 2% of Boy Scouts are able to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout by completing a number of activities in order to qualify.

The seven youths are: Geoffrey Burns, 16, Sage Hill High School; Danny Emrich, 18, University High School in Irvine; Ross Evans, 16, Corona del Mar High School; Brett Hanrahan, 18, Mater Dei High School; Tom Multari, 18, Sage Hill High; Max Voettiner, 18, Corona del Mar High; and Patrick White, 18, Corona del Mar High.
