Milas Dyer
Earns the Eagle Scout Award
(July
29, 2006)
Kevin Milas Dyer is Troop 45's newest Eagle Scout. Milas was
presented
the Eagle Scout award at a special ceremony held in his honor on
June 10, 2006. The Eagle award is the Boy Scout's highest honor
awarded to a youth, and only about 4 percent of the boys who enter
the Scouting program ever earn this award.
As part of the requirements for Eagle Scout, Milas was required to
complete a community service leadership project. For his project,
Milas planned and led the effort to build a picnic and outdoor
classroom area for the Historic Rosedale Plantation in north
Charlotte.
Milas graduated this year from Harding High School and will enroll
this fall as a freshman at Western Carolina University.
Troop 45 is sponsored by Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church
and is led by Lynn Snuggs. Visit the troop web site at
