A Greensboro man recognized as the longest tenured Eagle Scout has died. WFDD's Paul Garber reports on the passing of 103-year-old Robert Dick Douglas.
Douglas wasn't the oldest Eagle Scout, but he was known having held the title the longest. He earned it in December, 1925.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports Douglas also earned 95 merit badges and wrote four books on scouting.
In September, he received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, which recognizes those who have made a profound impact at least 25 years after earning the title.
Both of Douglas' parents were involved in scouting and Douglas not only joined at an early age but would go on to be a scoutmaster.
He was also known for having a lengthy tenure as an attorney in Greensboro.
