KINGSTON — Grann Steele of Kingston becomes his family’s fourth Eagle Scout on March 3. He also completes the second set of brothers in his family to earn Scouting’s highest rank.

Steele will receive his rank at a Court of Honor at 2:30 p.m., at Bayside Church. Steele’s brother, Garrett, became an Eagle Scout in 2007; their father, Gary, in 1972; Gary’s brother, Darrell, in 1967.

Earning Eagle Scout rank is no small task. Since its introduction in 1911, the rank has been earned by 2 percent of Scouts, among them astronauts and members of Congress. Eagle Scouts receive advanced paygrades when they enlist in the military.

To become an Eagle, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges related to citizenship, community service, first aid, health and fitness, leadership, personal growth, and other subjects; and complete a service project that the Scout plans and manages. Eagle Scout rank must be achieved by age 18. Those service projects have a long impact on their communities. Gary Steele planted trees and designed the camping areas at Kitsap Memorial State Park. Darrell blazed trails in Olympic National Park. Garrett built a cement walkway and wheelchair ramp at Kvelstad Pavilion. Grann built a covered walkway to improve pedestrian safety and comfort at Bayside Church; the project required $11,581 in fundraising and working with seven agencies and contractors.

“He’s so industrious and ingenious,” church secretary Barbara Brumagin said of Steele. “He sees something and finds a way to get it done.”
