A Community Celebrates Eagle Scout Trevor Suggs
Congratulations to 16-year-old Trevor Suggs of Georgetown’s Troop 405, who recently earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. Trevor’s journey, marked by dedication, leadership, and thousands of hours of community service, was celebrated during a heartfelt ceremony at Christ Lutheran Church on June 1, where he was officially administered the Eagle Scout oath by former Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Surrounded by family, friends, and fellow Scouts, Trevor’s reception featured tabletop chronicles of his entire Scouting experience, lovingly assembled by his mother, Cassie. Her display took more than six months to create and left Scout leaders in attendance awestruck.
In his remarks, Governor Perry emphasized the lifelong value of Scouting achievement: “When I receive resumes, there are two things that move a person to my personal pile—Eagle Scout or collegiate swimmer. Both show the ability and commitment to start and finish something. Trevor, for the rest of your life, always put ‘Eagle Scout’ at the top of the page. It tells people what they need to know about you.”
Trevor’s impact on the community has already been nationally recognized. His Eagle Scout Service Project—a scatter garden for unclaimed remains at Georgetown’s IOOF Cemetery—was a first-of-its-kind project in Texas. Valued at over $50,000 and fully funded by Trevor’s own $22,000 fundraising effort, the project was the Council Service Territory 7 recipient of the 2025 Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award, placing it among the top 16 in the nation.
Trevor was previously recognized as the Capitol Area Council’s Adams Award winner. On top of that, he is on track to earn all available merit badges—an achievement completed by less than 0.5 percent of Scouts.
We’re proud to salute Eagle Scout Trevor Suggs—a remarkable young man and a shining example of the values Scouting instills in tomorrow’s leaders.
