Eagan American Legion Post 594 is pleased to announce that Scotland M. Garrick of Inver Grove Heights has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He is the son of Post 594 member and United States Army & National Guard veteran Robert Garrick. Scotland was awarded his medal at a Court of Honor held in Cottage Grove on May 31st. Attaining this rank is a true reflection of Scotland’s values, character, determination, and focus, as he joins an elite group. Only 2% of all members of the scouting program since 1912 have attained the Eagle Scout rank. In recognition of the special achievement, Post 594 recently awarded Scotland with a resolution and an accompanying American Legion ‘Good Citizenship Citation’. Scotland just graduated from Simley High School and his future plans include serving in the U.S. Army National Guard. To honor his decision, Post 594 also recognized Scotland with a ‘Military Commitment Certificate of Commendation’, accompanied by a United States Army service-branch pin. Following Basic Training, he will then be moving on to specialized training in the field of Air Traffic Control (ATC) Operator (Military Occupational Specialty 15Q) at Fort Rucker in Dothan, Alabama. Congratulations to Scotland and his family!
