At this week's meeting, BSA Scout Thomas Walsh presented about his Eagle Scout Service Project. Thomas will be leading a crew to place reflective bands on utility poles near fire hydrants. The bands will show Reading Firefighters the distance to a nearby hydrant easily; the bands are especially needed when snow buries the fireplugs. Eagle Scout is the highest rank in BSA Scouts and requires advancing through the 6 lower ranks, earning at least 21 Merit Badges, holding leadership positions in the Troop, performing community service and planning and overseeing a major community service project.
Rotary supported this project with a $200 donation. Congratulations, Thomas, on an impressive presentation and project.
