HARRISVILLE — Seven brothers plus seven sons equals 14 Eagle Scouts.

Since she was a child, Janet Varble has been surrounded by go-getters. Not only did her seven brothers all earn their Eagle Scout, her seven sons have now accomplished the same feat.

Kevin, Elon, Kilo, Deely, Jershon, Tennik and Nevele Varble are now all Eagle Scouts, thanks to their parents, Scout leaders and their own hard work. Not only did the boys earn the 21 required merit badges to become an Eagle, they all went on to earn well over 100.

Scout project: Soccer training hits the web

OGDEN -- When Braxton Ferrin, 13, was looking around for an Eagle Scout project, he decided he wanted it to be related to his passion for soccer. He'd had the opportunity to play on a competition team for nine years, but he knew not everyone had that. So after looking at maybe revamping soccer fields and discussing a few other soccer-related ideas, he came up with the idea to make training videos and make them available to everyone.

Ferrin's father, Alan Ferrin, said that when Braxton first began researching available soccer training videos, there were a lot of YouTube videos, but none like what Braxton wanted to make.

In this image from contributed video, Bryan Farnsworth, 49, is seen in an ankle-length tie-dyed skirt with a pink shirt, blazer and tie during a Saturday night Lincoln Day Dinner in Tremonton. The declared candidate for Congress in Utah’s 1st District, who told the audience he is bipolar, was accompanied by a dog. He may be cited for misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct because a Utah Highway Patrol trooper was injured while escorting the agitated Farnsworth from the hall. Also, Farnsworth made comments about the president’s military policies and called Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop traitors.
