Britton Rembert of Vestavia Hills earned his Eagle Scout rank in December of 2015 and was recognized at a court of honor in May of 2016. On his way to earning the Eagle Scout rank, Britton earned 21 merit badges and served in several leadership positions including assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, Chaplin and assistant senior patrol leader. Along the Eagle trail, Britton hiked more than 100 miles, camped more than 50 nights and accumulated over 400 community service hours.
His Eagle Scout Project benefited Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School in Ensley. In addition to attending class, each student at Holy Family works an entry-level job provided by over 90 Birmingham businesses. Their work experience provides the opportunity to pay their tuition, which enhances their motivation to attain a quality education. Britton planted trees, improved the grounds, painted and cleaned areas of the school and the gym. As a result of his fundraising efforts, Britton raised over $1,800 to pay for costs of his project and donated the remaining funds to Holy Family Cristo Rey.
Britton is a junior at Vestavia Hills High School. He plays baseball for Vestavia Hills High School and Excel Baseball in Oxford, Alabama.
He is the son of Britt and Mary Rembert of Vestavia Hills.
