Becoming an Eagle Scout in 1944 allowed Verdery Roberson to find direction in life and break color barriers in Augusta. "I was a 17-year-old youngster and it sort of got me started off in life," he said. "It was a good start." Roberson, who was born and raised in Augusta, is celebrating his 75th anniversary since becoming Augusta's first black Eagle Scout and one of the first in the state in. He attended Paine College and worked at the Augusta Arsenal until it was closed. He was transferred to Alabama, where he currently lives in Birmingham. Roberson used to go to the YMCA on 9th Street to meet for the Eagles Scouts. He became an Eagle Scout when he was 17, which had a big impact in his life moving forward. Daniel Rogers, Scout Executive for the Georgia Carolina Council, said they are proud to have been a part of Roberson's story as an Eagle Scout. "We are extremely proud of him," Rogers said. "We are just honored to be a part of his life and his legacy. It's just a wonderful story to celebrate 75 years later."
