Boy Scout Troop 192 celebrated the achievements of new Eagle Scouts Isaac J. Ekstrom, Brandon C. Graham, and Dawson L. Holloway at their Court of Honor, Aug. 13, at North Oaks Community Church.
Ekstrom’s Eagle Project included clearing invasive weeds from the Springfield Library pond.
“Scouting has been quite an experience for me – it’s helped me grow a lot,” he said.
Graham, who cleared invasive species from a walking path behind the library for his Eagle project, said he had a great time in scouting.
“It’s all meant a lot,” he said. “It’s taught me invaluable lessons I’ll apply to the next chapter of my life.”
Holloway created a series of demonstration videos for YouTube about low salt cooking for diabetes and other issues, for his project.
“I’ve gained a lot of friendships,” the Eagle Scout said. “It’s been a very rewarding journey. I’ve enjoyed every step along the way.”
