Caleb Prettyman
BARNARD, Mo. — Caleb Prettyman, Barnard, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout — the highest level of accomplishment awarded by the Boy Scouts of America — on July 10 following successful completion of a service project and examination by a BSA Board of Review.
A member of Maryville’s Troop 75, Prettyman has earned 57 merit badges during his Scouting career and is a Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, the honor camping society of BSA’s Pony Express Council.
Prettyman’s Eagle project consisted of repainting Barnard’s fire hydrants and equipping them with locater antennas.
As required for all Eagle projects, Prettyman demonstrated leadership skills by planning the scope of work, organizing personnel and meeting with community groups to obtain funding.
Prettyman is the son of Chris and Jennifer Prettyman and will be a junior this fall at South Nodaway R-IV High School.
He is the grandson of Clenell and Laura Jo Prettyman, Barnard, and Robert and the late Marilyn Hardin of Albany.
Prettyman will receive his Eagle Scout badge during a Court of Honor to be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Barnard Christian Church.
