To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Scout must complete requirements for six prior ranks and earn at least 21 merit badges. Of those, 14 are required to achieve Eagle Scout rank, then the Scout must earn an additional seven (or more) badges of his or her choosing. Learning leadership skills and performing acts of community service prepares the Scout to conduct a community service project, known as the Eagle Project.
Davian earned 26 merit badges and completed his Eagle Project in November 2024.
Multiple donation days were held at Chow Down to support the Humane Society. In addition to the donations received, Davian built and placed a donation box within Chow Down so donations can continue to be collected as community members purchase items for their own pets.
Davian is planning to attend Colorado State University Pueblo in fall, majoring in kinesiology and pursuing his love for football.
Applying leadership and teamwork skills he has cultivated through sports and Scouts, he intends to pursue a career as a physical education teacher and sports coach.
Through the support of his family, friends, community members, his fellow Scouts, along with his own dedication, Davian joins an elite group of Scouts.
