Eagle Scout Commendation
Assemblyman Bill Reilich congratulated Zachary Buell of Troop 111 in Brockport on Sunday, January 15 at his Eagle Scout Ceremony at the Brockport Elks Lodge. Pictured are: Reilich, Buell and a "real" Golden Eagle being held by his handler. Zach's dad, Geoff arranged for the guest appearance of the Golden Eagle as a surprise. The Eagle Scout tradition runs in the family as Geoff became an Eagle Scout 25 years ago. For his project, Zachary repaired, stripped, painted and sealed two "Hawk watch" platforms at Braddock's Bay Park. This project included nearly 200 man hours of community service by Zach, fellow scouts and family. He was presented a Citation from the State of New York, honoring his achievement.
