There is a lot to be said about a boy who earns his Eagle Scout award. There is a lot of dedication and hard work that goes in to the process of achieving such a feat. It is a special thanks that goes to the leaders and family of a boy who receives such an honor, but how about when you multiply that scout times two?
My younger brothers (twins if you haven't caught on) both achieved their Eagle Scout award this year. It was truly amazing to see the support that came from the community and church leaders who helped Peter and Kenneth along their way.
As it goes with Eagle Scouts, a special project must be completed. Peter chose to add an archery range at the local shooting club's existing rifle range. This entailed creating targets that could easily be moved to desired distances, and constructing bow hangers for the shooters to store equipment. Peter used recycled resources and good leadership to accomplish his goal. Now as you drive past the shooting range, you can see his idea in use.
Kenneth chose to update the Church grounds by tearing out overgrown old shrubbery and replacing it with something clean cut. This turned out to be quite the task as he and his fellow scouts worked around the existing sprinkler system to design the new beds and plant the new shrubs. the finished product was a great show of team work and care for the Church's property.
The Twin's court of honor was held on the 16th and was a great turnout! Thanks to all those who made this happen, our family is very grateful for all your support and hard work.
Congratulations Peter and Kenneth... now fly like an "Eagle"!
