Troop 5 Scouts gathered from around the state to honor their Eagle Scout
George Norrell at his funeral Saturday, September 26th.  George was 21 years old and died as a passenger in an automobile accident between Crossett and Hamburg where he lived and worked.

He was an exceptional Scout and young man.  Troop 5 served as honorary pallbearers for the graveside service. His father Jimmy Don Norrell wrote a message that was read for family, friends and Scouts about his dedication to Troop 5 and Scouting. Troop 5 gave their brother George a formal group salute.

His mother Christy drove George on the 6 hour round trip from Hamburg to Hope numerous times to attend the weekly meetings, campouts, work on service projects and construction of the Harlan Scout Center.
