New Eagle Scouts from Troop 206 in Menlo Park
Scouting America’s Troop 206 in Menlo Park celebrated its four new Eagle Scouts at a ceremony led by Scoutmaster John Grundy in late June. The ranking is the highest that can be attained in scouting and is earned by only a small percentage of youth in the program.
The troop recognized Stephen Cheung, Arron Mahoney, Josh Cohen and Kai Kawaguchi.
Ranking up as a scout means performing hours of community service, serving in the troop and completing merit badges for activities such as rifle shooting, rock climbing, lifesaving and more. To become an Eagle Scout, members must earn 21 merit badges and complete an Eagle project.
“It has been a true privilege to watch these young men grow from energetic boys into thoughtful, capable leaders,” said Grundy in a statement.
The new Eagle Scouts were awarded with mentor pins, Eagle statues and letters of commendation as they shared personal reflections and took part in the symbolic “passing of the candle” to younger scouts.
