Matthew
Martell Earns the Eagle Scout Award
(August
2, 2005)
Matthew David Martell is Troop 45's newest Eagle Scout. He was
presented the Eagle Scout award at a special ceremony held in his
honor on June 8, 2005. 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 Eagle Scout requirements, Matthew was required to
complete a community service leadership project. For his project,
Matthew designed and built an outdoor picnic area for Southwest
Middle School.
Matthew graduated this year from Olympic High School and plans to
attend the University of North Carolina in the fall.
Boy Scout Troop 45 is sponsored by
Central Steele Creek Presbyterian Church, and is led by Lynn
Snuggs.
