(CLAWSON – MARCH 20, 2025) Connor Christensen, 18, of Clawson, MI, recently earned Scouting America’s highest advancement award, the Eagle Scout Award with Bronze Palm. Christensen will be recognized in a ceremony this spring.

A member of Clawson’s Troop 1615, chartered with The Church @ Clawson, Christensen is one of only approximately 6 percent of all Scouts who earn the Eagle rank, according to Troop Committee Chair Troy Engel. Each candidate must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, serve in troop leadership positions, and successfully complete a community-related service project to earn Eagle; Christensen earned 26 merit badges, and planned, built and installed two school supply caches at Clawson High School.
Christensen is currently a senior at Clawson High School. He plans to attend college in the fall and is interested in a career in video production. He is the son of Mark and Annette Christensen of Clawson. Christensen is Troop 1615’s 63rd Scout to earn Eagle Scout.
