McDonald Boys go the Extra Mile



Scouts—On Nov. 1, two young men from Payson –identical twins—were honored with the receipt of their Gold and Silver palms by unit 951, sponsored by the Elk Ridge 6th Ward. Dayan and Devin McDonald became Eagle Scouts right after their 16th birthdays. Both earned the same merit badges and climbed through their lower ranks at the same time. Both are home-schooled, play club soccer and excel in all they do. During the ceremony they both gave praise to their scoutmasters who lead them on the trail to Eagle. They also encouraged the younger scouts, who participated in the court of honor, to pursue the Eagle rank. Both stated they gained considerable knowledge and skill from the many merit badges that they earned during their scouting experience, which has helped them become better citizens of the community.
