Eagle Scout Tyler Rosso is joined by his mother Kimberly Rosso (on his left) and (to his right) his brother Matthew Collins and father Michael Rosso for this photograph taken at his Court of Honor on February 18. Provided photoTyler Christian Rosso, son of Michael and Kimberly Rosso of Brockport, received the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Award in November 2011. He is a member of Brockport Troop 375 sponsored by the Brockport Conservation Club.
For his Eagle project, Tyler, with the help of many volunteers from his troop, the community, and his family, designed and built a bridge at Sweden Town Park. The bridge will allow an area of the park’s walking trail to be accessible when the water level is too high for pedestrians and maintenance vehicles to cross. Tyler also modified an existing bridge on the trail by adding ramps to make it handicapped accessible.
Besides being awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, Tyler successfully earned 34 merit badges, Cub Scout Arrow of Light award, and the Order of the Arrow Boy Scout Honor Society award. He has also held positions as Troop Order of the Arrow Representative, Troop Instructor, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Boy Scout Camp Senior Patrol Leader. Tyler also received many congratulatory letters from President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President George Bush, as well as many other dignitaries.
Tyler, 16, is in 11th grade at Brockport High School. He is a high honor roll student and is actively involved in Future Business Leaders of America, Drama Club, Chorus, Masterminds and Mock Trial. He has also done many hours of volunteer service in the community and at his church. Tyler’s future plans include college studies in political science and law. He hopes to pursue a career as a lawyer.
