Troop 358 of
Barrington is hosting an Eagle Court of Honor to recognize and celebrate Samuel
Cheney for his achieving Eagle Scout.
The ceremony will be held on Sunday, June 3, at 1 p.m. at Saint Joseph Church,
150 Central Avenue in Dover.
Cheney’s Eagle project consisted of extensive work on the Waste
Management Gonic Trails at Mount Isinglas Recreational Area in Rochester which
included planning and directing the construction of 2 bridges across streams,
the blazing of the Blue and Red trails with trail markers to improve
navigability, installation of hand-made blue, red, and yellow directional arrow
signs at key intersections, and installing a post at the trailhead with blue
and yellow arrows to identify trail paths. This project involved more than 206 hours of labor by
members of his troop and other volunteers.
The Eagle Scout
rank is the highest rank in Boy Scouting with only two percent of all scouts
achieving this award.
Special guest at
the event will be Ovide Lamontagne, 2012 Candidate for Governor of New
Hampshire and 2009 New Hampshire Distinguished Citizen of the Year. (courtesy photo)
