Thompson attains Eagle Scout honor

Micah J. Thompson, son of Roger and Laura Thompson of Paducah, Ky., has reached the rank of Eagle Scout. His mother is formerly of this area and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lynwood Mathis, still live in Warren County.

Thompson has been a scout since 11, has served his troop as chaplain and assistant patrol leader and earned 38 merit badges. This month, he is expected to travel to Honduras on a mission trip to deliver medicine collected from physicians.

For his Eagle Scout project, he organized the improvement of a storage facility for a Christian counseling center in Kentucky.

Thompson is a 2002 graduate of Heath High School in Paducah, where he was an honor student. He will enter Harding University in Searcy, Ala., this fall.
