All 138 badges: B-Scout Gerber
A high school senior living just outside of Farragut has accomplished a feat rarely realized even nationally, having obtained his first Boy Scout Merit Badge as a fifth-grader.
He’s earned all 138 Badges.
Zachary Gerber, a home-schooled student connected with Christian Academy of Knoxville who is taking dual-enrollment classes at Pellissippi State Community College, completed the rare feat as a member of Boy Scout Troop 87 by recently earning his Bugle Badge.
As for the toughest badges to earn, “bugle and backpacking, but for different reasons,” said Gerber, also a pianist who seeks to become a “mechanical engineer.”
Moreover, “My ideal goal on my ideal job is to design roller coasters,” the 17-year-old said.
Gerber also was a member of a PSCC math team recently finishing sixth nationally.
