Robert A. LewisRobert A. Lewis, son of Robert and Margaret Lewis, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in December 2012.
His Eagle Scout project was to clean and paint the skate park located at the Sweden Town Park. Also as part of the skate park refurbishment, he repaired and painted a broken bleacher.
To fund the project, Lewis collected used items from troop members and the community. He sold those items at the Public Market garage sale in Rochester. He also received a number of monetary donations.
The entire project took 135 hours. The work required two days of scraping, priming and painting on top of the fundraising activities. Robert received strong support and guidance throughout the project from Sweden Town Supervisor Patricia Connors. He also received donations from Kristen Heyen Noble and the Brockport Sherwin Williams store.
Robert is a member of Boy Scout Troop 375 sponsored by the Conservation Club of Brockport. He is a junior at Brockport High School, where he is a member of the National Honor Society and a percussionist in the band. He is considering a career in the field of chemistry.
