Loeffelholz earns Eagle Scout rank
Five Boy Scouts, members of Troop 120, Last Frontier Council, Oklahoma City, were recognized in a Court of Honor ceremony on May 4.
Among them was a Cashion High School senior.
The young men honored are among only 6 percent of all Boy Scouts who attain the Eagle Rank after a lengthy review process, according to Scoutmaster Matt Jackson.
Each candidate must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a community, church, or synagogue- related service project to earn his Eagle rank.
Earning that rank was Travis Loeffelholz, 18, of Cashion.
He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in December 2024.
Loeffelholz chose to complete a playground res- toration for St. Mary’s Academy in Guthrie by improving two play areas which began by conducting clean up, then bringing in sand and barriers, building a bench and procuring donated umbrellas to provide shade sitting spots for students and teachers.
“It’s easy to work on something that people are excited about,” said Loeffelholz. “Who doesn’t like a playground? It was fun making so many people happy.”
Loeffelholz is a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Guthrie.
Loeffelholz was a member of the Cashion football team, powerlifting team, track team and the FFA shooting team.
He participates in the peer mentoring program and the Francis Tuttle welding program.
He is the son of Kurt and Rhonda Loeffelholz.
Also earning Eagle Scout rank were John Robert Fletcher, Charles Fuhrman, Townes Robert Green and Turner Hadrava, all of Oklahoma City.
