Proud Morris Plains Boy Scout, Achieves Honor of Eagle Scout

Matthew Enderley, a member of Morris Plains Boy Scout Troop 39, was honored and awarded for achieving the highest rank in Boy Scouts, on March 10, 2019, at the Morris Plains Community Center. More than 60 people were in attendance, including Boy Scouts of America (BSA) members, family and community officials. Local government officials included Morris Plains mayor Jason Karr (pictured) and members of the Morris Plains Borough Council, as well as a representative of the Watnong VFW Post 3401. Matthew’s achievement was celebrated with ceremonial speeches, multiple awards and honor of the highest order.

To adorn the community, Matthew’s Eagle Scout project enhances the primary South entrance of the Morris Plains borough. Specifically, look for the outstanding blue sign that he developed, to provide a “warm welcome”, for all who enter into Morris Plains. Matthew has been active in Scouting for over 10 years and thought of this project 6 years ago. It is a great example of a Scout project that gives back to the community and reinforces the vision: The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law. During the school year, Troop 39 meets weekly at the Presbyterian Church in Morris Plains to plan camping trips, community service events and learning required to earn rank advancements.
