Boy Scout Tells Leaders Why He Stayed 25 Years
Fri Feb 05, 2010 04:22 AM


Richard and Claudia Coleman are the leaders of Troop 409 — a troop for Boy Scouts with special needs in Pensacola, Fla. Richard joined the troop in 1987. He had two daughters, so his time with the troop became a "night out with the boys." Claudia was the troop's assistant scoutmaster.

Derek Connell, 54, is one of the oldest members of Troop 409. He's an Eagle Scout, which is the highest rank a Scout can earn. While most Scouts have to earn the rank of Eagle by the time they're 18, special-needs Scouts do not.
