Fullen, a junior at Kentlake High School, has had several leadership positions during his time with the troop, including senior patrol leader.

His Eagle Scout project was to design, plan and lead a team in the construction of a long-jump pit at Pine Tree Elementary School, where he was a student.

In addition to the 12 required merit badges, Fullen also earned 22 elective merit badges.

A Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony took place at Lake Sawyer Christian Church, where Fullen attends church with his family. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Fullen promised to serve his troop through until his last day of eligibility when he turns 18 and to remain loyal to the Scouting ideals throughout his life.
