Roswell Boy Scout honored by legislature for achievement

A Roswell teenager is making Boy Scout history. David Cano of Boy Scout Troop 1776, has earned all 121 Scout merit badges and all 20 Eagle Palms. He’s one of only three Scouts in the organization’s 100-year history to achieve such status, according to scout master Tom Morin.

David, 17, was honored with a Georgia House resolution. The Georgia Senate did likewise on Monday. A junior at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School, David develops Web sites and participates in the Model United Nations, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the National Honor Society.

He is the son of Rodrigo and Rosa Cano.

“He is a remarkable young man (with) tremendous focus and drive to achieve,” Morin said. “His leadership skills inspire others to excel as well.”
