If you’re an Eagle Scout, then you know how tough it is to attain Boy Scout’s highest rank.

One scout in Elkhart County has taken it to a whole new level. Nathan Hite is a member of Troop 12 in New Paris, and has not only earned his Eagle, but in doing so completed every single merit badge that their is to earn in the Boy Scouts of America. There are 143 possible merit badges that you can earn, and you only need 21 to earn you’re Eagle.

Hite says that he didn’t think about going for all the badges at first, but after getting his Eagle he decided to go for it.

He had to work against the clock though because once you turn 18, you’re Boy Scouts career is over. He just beat the cutoff the before his 18th birthday on May 3rd, by completing his Digital Technology merit badge.
