The famous Wright Brothers of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, have little on the Wright Brother of St. Louis, Missouri. Though the former were the original adventurers in flight, the modern brothers named Wright are creating their own family legacy by soaring high with eagles. John and James were presented their Boy Scout Eagle Awards on November 25th at Grace Methodist Church.

This honor is the highest rank in boy scouting. Both young men were active for four years at Grace Methodist Church in Cub Scout Pack 31 during the 80’s and early 90’s, and then participated for 7 more years as boy scouts in Troop 09 at St. Roch Catholic Church. Both were also active in the Keystone Order of the Arrow chapter holding offices, performing on ceremonial teams and participating in community service. John performed his Eagle project for Our Little Haven, a permanent foster care facility for infants and toddlers.

He built wooden toys and craft containers for the day room at the center. James designed, cultivated and planted a perennial garden for St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in north St. Louis as his project.

His garden became a part of an area wide Revitalization 2000 project sponsored by the church and neighborhood community. Both brothers are encouraging their third sibling, Joseph, to continue the family tradition and attain his Eagle. That will likely happen in the next year as he is already Life rank and only his project and a merit badge from attaining the Eagle honor. John, James, and Joseph are the sons of Alan and Mary Wright of the 6200 block of Waterman in St. Louis, Missouri. John is a sophomore at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, VA, and James is a senior at St. Louis University High School in St. Louis.
