Most badges require speaking, but one Boy Scout with nonverbal autism has earned the highest rank

Achieving the highest honor of Boy Scouting is no easy feat: One must spend years earning 21 merit badges involving topics such as first aid, communication and environmental science.

Earning most of these requires a scout to communicate verbally, like giving a speech or collaborating with a team.Timmy Hargate, 21, who has nonverbal autism, joined Boy Scout Troop 461 in Highland Heights, Ohio, when he was 11. He was determined to become an Eagle Scout, and after about nine years of hard work, he finally achieved that goal in December. Only about 6.5% of all eligible scouts earned the honor in 2018, according to Scouting magazine.

You CNN fake news from we the people!

Way to ago, Timmy 🦅

A true hero! Congratulations on a dream achieved!

This is a beautiful story. Why are all of our timelines filled with divisive stories highlighting the worst in humanity when focusing on things like this shows us the best in humanity. Both in our compassion and understanding and our ability to overcome anything if we want to.

boyscouts early selection program 4 higher government service ought not have 2%. The best Eagles shouldn't have a name on registry, because they are not meant to be known publicly. Though I applaud his achievement, that is not what the Eagle program is about: SELFLESS SERVICE.

Awesome

Okay, so did he earn it or are we (CNN) posting articles to make them feel better about themselves.

How did he do that if America is so horrible?

Go Timmy!! Amazing achievement! Keep on rocking it - you can be anything you want to be. Awesome job to all who gave him a safe landing zone to launch from.
