Gavin Coatney was awarded his Eagle Scout on July 9.  He had completed all the requirements in February 2020, but due to the COVID lockdown which happened shortly after, and then moving to Idaho, he wasn’t able to receive the award until now.

Gavin had a remarkable Eagle project where he completely remodeled the Graham Youth Home, a closed homeless shelter for high school students, which was able to reopen after he finished.

Gavin is the son of Brian and Jaime Coatney and recently graduated in May from Malad High School, where he was active in basketball.  He plans on attending BYU-Idaho this fall and then serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
