Where Eagles Soar

March 27, 2017

 

This past weekend four young men were awarded their Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Sc outs of America. The Boy Scouts of America is an organization with over 2.5 million scouts and close to a million volunteers. The mission of the BSA is to instill a sense of morality, reverence and duty in young scouts to prepare them for being active citizens. In most cases the Eagle Project is one of their first experience in community service. I want to congratulate each of our scouts on their accomplishment in earning the rank of Eagle Scout. This is something that they will be proud of for the rest of their lives. Each of them have demonstrated their leadership skills, were able to work through some challenges and stayed focus on the end goal. Their projects helped our community and were successful at organizing donations and timelines to complete the projects.

I wanted to share my appreciation of their commitment to their faith and community; therefore, I presented each of them with a letter acknowledging their achievement and I also gave each of them a copy of the proclamation presented below.

I call upon all the people of our communities to join in recognition of the four Scouts above

 for their accomplishments and commitment to community. Well done scouts we are all proud of you.

Yours in service,
