The highest rank in Scouting — earned through years of hard work and dedication
My grandson Ryan has been working very hard over the past few years to fulfill his goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. There is much hard work and dedication for one to receive this highest award in Scouting. He will be joining his Dad who also achieved the Eagle Scout rank.
I know Ryan would not have reached this goal without the encouragement and guidance from his family. Congratulations to Mom and Dad and sister Megan.
For his Eagle Scout project, Ryan built four benches at the Stamford Nature Center. The project involved over 200 volunteer hours of work.
Ryan earned 21 merit badges on his path to Eagle Scout, including: Personal Management, Camping, Family Life, Personal Fitness, Swimming, Citizenship in the Nation, First Aid, Environmental Science, Communication, Citizenship in the World, Citizenship in the Community, and Emergency Preparedness.
On June 13, 2009, Ryan was formally recognized at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony. We are so proud of you, Ryan!
