Sean Alexander Laurie, 15, of Albert Lea, has earned the highest advancement award the Boy Scouts of America offers to Scouts, the Eagle Award.

Laurie will be recognized in his Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, at Wedgewood Cove Golf Club 2200 W. Ninth St., Albert Lea.

He is the son of Dr. John and Linda Laurie of Albert Lea.
