Eleven Eagle Scouts earned scouting's highest honor on Thursday, June 25, after completing service projects. The scouts helped put new laptops in the hands of families served by an Alpharetta nonprofit, rebuilt an outdoor classroom at a local middle school, and improved trails and gathering spaces at churches and community centers across north Fulton County.

The Northern Ridge Boy Scout District announced the new Eagle Scouts completed their boards of review at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church, the same venue the district has used for monthly reviews throughout 2026.

Two projects served Alpharetta and Milton organizations directly.

Noah Ronkainen, of Troop 69 at Alpharetta Methodist Church, wiped and reinstalled operating systems on 55 laptops, then donated them to Meals by Grace, the Alpharetta-based nonprofit that delivers food to families with limited transportation. The organization operates from 5025 Atlanta Highway in Alpharetta.

Sebastian Ulffe, a Johns Creek-based scout from Troop 10 at St. Benedict's Catholic Church, built two benches, two standing tables, and an easel stand, and repaired a broken lectern to refurbish the outdoor classroom at Elkins Pointe Middle School in Roswell. Elkins Pointe feeds students to Milton High School, according to the Fulton County Schools website.

Nick Waters, of Troop 1717 at Cross of Life Lutheran Church, replaced outdoor steps connecting the church's parking lot to its volleyball court and walking trails.

Other projects in the June class spanned the district's four-city footprint. Praneeth Bhat of Troop 2000 built benches and improved playground drainage at Yugal Kunj. Nihitha Chandran, also of Troop 2000, constructed a custom hanger rack and shako storage system inside the Chattahoochee High School band's equipment truck. Ammaar Muhammad of Troop 12B rebuilt a firepit, built a vinyl archway, and constructed raised garden beds at Masjid Al-Furqan. Duy Tran of Troop 1857 built two Little Free Libraries and stocked them with 60 books for Caney Creek Preserve and Old Atlanta Park in Forsyth County.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Scouts BSA, earned by only about 4 percent of participants since the program began in 1911, according to BSA national data.

Troop 69, which produced Ronkainen's project, was founded in 1981 and draws members from middle and high schools across Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, and Cumming. The troop has been a steady pipeline for Eagle candidates: fellow Troop 69 scouts William Chanco and Trey Donovan earned their Eagles at the May 28 board of review, and Jackson Pendergrass completed his in March.

The Northern Ridge District holds Eagle boards of review monthly at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church.
