It took six years for Thelen of Boy Scout Troop 427, chartered to the St. Rosa of Lima Catholic Church in Milton, Fla., to reach a lifetime goal by earning his Eagle Scout Rank.

During Dean’s journey to Eagle Scout, he has held various positions in the Troop and has mentored other younger Scouts.
He spent time last summer as a camp life guard at Rainey Mountain Boy Scout Camp in Clayton, Ga.
He earned the required 21 Merit Badges along with additional 14 for a total of 35 Merit Badges, including his first, the Weather Merit Badge, which he earned due to his love of weather.
