March 10, 2010 JOHNS CREEK - While the Boy Scouts of America celebrated its 100th anniversary of scouting last month, Troop 2000 in Johns Creek celebrated its 100th Eagle Scout at a ceremony March 6 at The Church of the Hills. Andy Bedenk, Michael Cleary, Brandon Burton and James Zahnow were honored for passing the Eagle Scout board reviews, bringing the total of Eagle Scouts in the troop to more than 100 since the troop began in 1991.

"It's a rare event to have a troop that has had more than 100 scouts make Eagle (Scout)," said Mark Kopel, scoutmaster advisor for Troop 2000. "We're really excited about this."

Josh Cullen, who also passed the Eagle Scout boards, will have his official Eagle ceremony in May.

"Having 100 Eagle Scouts in a troop shows we have a commitment to something bigger than us and it shows we're committed individuals with good morals," said Cullen, a senior at Chattahoochee High School.
