Craig Holland from Bergen Troop 31 has earned the Eagle Scout Award. This prestigious award represents the highest level of achievement in skill, in service, and in leadership in the Boy Scouts of America Program. He is a junior at Byron-Bergen High School. As part of the requirements to obtain the Eagle Scout rank, Holland had to complete an Eagle Scout Project, earn 21 merit badges and serve in leadership positions within the Boy Scout organization. His Eagle project consisted of building flower boxes which are visible at the corners in the Village of Bergen. He also constructed signs for Drews Nature Center and Linear Park, and also solicited donations for the purchase of several picnic tables for Hickory Park. The Eagle Scout Award was presented at a ceremony on Sunday, September 24, at the United Methodist Church in Bergen. October 22, 2006 |
