Fisher is a senior at Hamilton High School West. For his Eagle Project he supervised the building of a baseball field that was sponsored by VFW Post 491 in Hamilton. To reach Eagle, a scout must have 21 merit badges. Fisher has exceeded that, earning 59.

The Hamilton resident, who will be attending the University of Kansas in the fall, has sold more than $107,000 worth of Trail’s End products to support scouting, raising more than $75,000 for the Boy Scouts. He is second highest seller of the products.
