Gri Cashio in March earned the highest rank awarded by the Boy Scouts and now is an Eagle Scout.
Cashio comes from a strong scouting family. His grandfather, three uncles and two cousins are all Eagle Scouts.
Gri is a member of Troop 320 from Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church. Since joining Troop 320, Gri has held several leadership positions. He has been a patrol leader, an assistant patrol leader and a historian, and he was elected by his troop members to the Order of the Arrow.
While a Boy Scout, Gri hiked and backpacked 295 miles with 76 nights of camping, earning 74 merit badges. His most memorable camping trip was Philmont, where he was accompanied by fellow troop members and his father.
For Gri’s Eagle project, he removed three outdoor bulletin boards at Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church and replaced two of them. The bulletin boards sit along the nature trail that surrounds the church property. He enlisted the help of fellow Troop 320 members along with family and friends on the project.
Gri is a junior at Mountain Brook High School, where he plays varsity football and is on the track team. Gri is the son of Meredith and Greg Cashio. He and his family are members of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
