Olympics/Paralympics

Rob Munn, one of seven Eagle Scout Olympians in Rio, will race for gold for Team USA in Saturday’s eight-man rowing finals.

Ryan Held, one of seven Eagle Scouts on the 2016 U.S. Olympic roster, won a gold medal Sunday night as a member of Team USA’s 4×100 freestyle relay team.

At the U.S Olympic Swimming Trials, nobody was talking about Ryan Held. Pretty soon, everyone will know this Eagle Scout’s name.

Seven members of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team that competed in the Rio Olympics are Eagle Scouts. Here’s how they fared in the Summer Games.

Update, 2019: The International Olympic Committee has upgraded Holcomb and Fogt’s bronze medals to silver after removing the gold medal from the Russian team. As teenagers, they received red, white and blue Eagle Scout medals.
