Joshua Ham of Boy Scout Troop 278 (Scoutmasters Han Hak-soo and Emily Jeon), an 11th-grade student at Wisdom Mission School, advanced to the highest rank of Eagle Scout on the 23rd of last month.
Ham began his scouting journey in the lower grades of elementary school as a Cub Scout, steadily continuing his involvement to develop strong leadership and a spirit of community service.
Throughout his time in scouting, he participated in diverse outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, kayaking, rafting, and horseback riding, which helped him build a strong sense of challenge and teamwork. He took on leadership roles in each activity to guide his peers and actively participated in community volunteer efforts.
The Eagle Scout rank is the highest honor achieved by only about 4% of all scouts. Earning this distinction requires fulfilling rigorous requirements, including at least six months of community service, demonstrated leadership, and the completion of various outdoor training courses.
