New Eagle Scouts

I am very pleased and proud to announce that Alec Strohmeyer and Patrick Zenon are now Eagle Scouts. Alec and Pat completed their Eagle Boards of Review this evening, and are Troop 108’s newest Eagles.
The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 4 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1911. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.

Please join me in congratulating Alec and Pat on their remarkable journeys through scouting.
