After six years of hard work, junior Jeremiah Stott received the Eagle Scout Award on Sept. 8, 2019. When someone becomes an Eagle Scout, it means that the young man is loyal, trustworthy, helpful, friendly, kind, cheerful. It is the highest award that a boy can earn in the Boy Scout program and requires members to pass Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life requirements, earn at least twenty-one merit badges, and complete an Eagle project. It is a great accomplishment that is only given to 5% of all Scouts in the nation.
Jeremiah explained, “It required a lot of hard work and that it's something that is worldwide. I joined because my friends were in it so I wanted to be in it too."
As part of his Eagle project, Jeremiah improved the Mill Trail up in North Fork. “I installed directional signs, built benches, rebuilt stairs and did some trail work in Willow Creek trail in North Fork”.
Congratulations to Jeremiah for all his hard work and accomplishments!
