He was “in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for 12 years, earning every rank.” He earned an Eagle Scout and his “project was a viewing area at the flight path museum on Imperial and California.” He states, “It is a viewing area consisting of 4 handmade picnic benches and then an overall beautification with floral arrangements and planters.” It just blew me away that this community has raised young adults with such honorable values to the point that they come back and give to the community and organization that formed them into productive humans of this earth. I was so moved by this holiday story of volunteerism in our community that I contacted the Boy Scouts through our family friend Mr. Carl Doby, whose son Henry earned Eagle Scout last year, and was a standout ESHS ‘Tis the season to support local businesses. football player, now attending college.
