Notre Dame Prep senior and Eagle Scout Tyler Obear will be formally presented with his Eagle award on October 21.Tyler Obear, a senior at Notre Dame Preparatory School, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award given by the Boy Scouts of America.
According to BSA, only five percent of the nearly three million scouts nationwide earn Eagle Scout status.
For his Eagle Scout project, Obear made blankets for nuns at the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica convent in Atchison, Kansas, where his great aunt lives. "We sent more than 15 blankets and they were very pleased," Obear said.
Obear joins fellow ND Prep student Ryan Flaherty and recent alums Ryan Dau, Erik Egner, Connor Verheyen, Jack Stouffer, Joe Lombardo and Peter Dondanville, who also have achieved Eagle Scout status.
Obear will be formally presented with his award on October 21 at St. Hugo of the Hills parish.
