Two Prince George County students and twin brothers were recently honored by the Prince George County School Board for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout within the Boy Scouts of America.
Broderick Ehrenfeld and Rylan Ehrenfeld, both seniors at Prince George High School and students at Brightpoint Community College via their dual-enrollment program, were celebrated alongside their family and friends during the school board’s calendar-year opening business meeting on January 12, 2026.
The brothers join a distinguished group of over two million young men who have earned the Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor, which requires dedication to their troops and community, earning the required merit badges, completing their Eagle Scout service project, and passing their Eagle Scout Board of Review.

Broderick has earned 38 merit badges to date, and he has volunteered many hours of service within the community. He has worked on several community Eagle Projects for other scouts over the years to include installing flag poles at Scott Memorial Park, replacing a fence at a local church playground, and building animal pens and shelters for an animal rescue in Amelia County. He also helped with the Eagle Scout ceremony at Randolph-Macon College as an Honor Guard. He has also completed a 50-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail, and he spent the past two summers working at Pipsico Scout Reservation as a Merit Badge Counselor for Emergency Preparedness. Additionally, Broderick received the Ad Altare Dei religious emblem through the Church of the Sacred Heart, deepening his understanding of the Catholic faith.
