Michael Bakke, a sophomore at Farmington High School, has earned the Boy Scouts of America’s highest advancement award, the rank of Eagle Scout. Bakke was recently recognized at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor at Dakota County Heritage Village.
A member of Farmington Troop 116, chartered by Farmington VFW Post 7662, Bakke is one of only 2 percent of all Boy Scouts who attain the Eagle rank.
Eagle Scouts must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a community service project. Bakke built a wood shed fashioned as an outhouse on display at Dakota City Heritage Village. Steve Hoffman served as Bakke’s Eagle Scout mentor.
Bakke is the son of John and Brenda Bakke of Farmington.
