Cameron Somers Earns EAgle Scout Award

TEEN RECEIVES EAGLE SCOUT RANK, CREATES FIRE PIT AND PAVER PATIO AT CHESTNUT HILL UCC

Coopersburg, Pa-August 20, 2015. A Court of Honor was held for Cameron Somers of Boy Scout Troop 334, chartered to Chestnut Hill United Church of Christ in Coopersburg. He reached a lifetime goal by earning his Eagle Scout badge. It took over 80 hours and 33 merit badges, but his Eagle project was completed by creating a fire pit and paver patio at Chestnut Hill United Church of Christ, Coopersburg, PA.

Cameron would like to thank his family, troop, leaders, council, church, community, and volunteers who supported him along the way. He is proud to follow in his father’s footsteps as an Eagle Scout. He will continue to be a member of Troop 334 and encourage others to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also for the young man as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. Around seven percent of all Boy Scouts in Minsi Trails Council earn the rank of Eagle Scout. For more information go to: http://www.minsitrails.com/
