Montauk Honors 12th-Ever Eagle Scout

Montauk, NY- Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming was among those who gathered Sunday to honor new Eagle Scout Brenden Snow at the Montauk Fire House.

Brenden is only the twelfth Boy Scout from Montauk to earn Boy Scouting’s highest honor. Only three percent of Boy Scouts nationwide earn the program’s highest ranking.

Brenden’s Eagle Scout project involved building bleachers at the Montauk School baseball field. Additionally, Brenden earned 26 merit badges and served Troop 136 as patrol leader, senior patrol leader, and troop guide.

“It is a great honor to recognize young people such as Brendan who are so dedicated to making a positive impact on our community. This achievement requires an incredible amount of dedication, empathy, leadership and perseverance; all of us at the Suffolk County Legislature are incredibly proud of Brendan’s achievements,” Fleming said.
