On February 28th three Troop 2 Scouts completed
their path to the Eagle scout rank at their board of review, joining 8 other
scouts who achieved this rank in the past year, and the 285 fellow Eagles from
our troop who have achieved this rank since 1924.
Their hard work and dedication, focus and determination
helped get them there, but we would be remiss not to thank the support and
participation from parents, the community, fellow scouts, and our adult
leaders, who make all the difference by helping these young men along the way.
We’d also like to recognize and thank Shane Phillips, Eric Hicks, and Andrew
MacKenzie, who stepped up to help early in the process as mentors and project
coaches. We refocused our Life to Eagle program in November 2017, and these
three Troop 2 Eagles dropped in on Thursday evenings to meet with the parents
and scouts at our kickoff, helped the scouts along the way with tips and
suggestions, kept them focused as they started along the trail, and reviewed
ideas and formal proposals with the candidates.
We’d also like to thank Committee Member John Reichardt for his
participation in the Eagle Scout Board of Review process with Mayflower
Council, which helps put a friendly face at the table for our scouts, and Troop
92 Scoutmaster George Viglas, who with our Scoutmaster David Chase coordinates
and leads the Board of Review process and was the lead for many of our Eagle
scouts boards.
Thanks to all of this hard work and devotion, David and I
have the great honor to recognize these 11 Eagles at our court of honor on
Sunday, March 24th at the First Church, Weymouth Heights, at 3 PM.
At this court of honor we’ll present each Eagle with their ribbon and other
awards, celebrate their achievement with accolades and follow with
refreshments. We’ll also be presenting rank advancement and merit badges to all
scouts at this court of honor. All are
welcome and encouraged to attend, new scouts, current scouts, former scouts,
troop alumni and friends of Troop 2.
