What's happening: Ramsey High School Sophomores Ryan Budway and Ryan J. Barrett of Ramsey Troop 31 have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting America. ⚜ They were officially given this honor in a recognition ceremony this past Sunday.
Why it matters: The multiyear journey to the Eagle Scout Award is one of the most involved and transformative experiences a young person can have.
Skills developed: Students working toward their Eagle Scount rank try new things through the merit badge program, develop confidence in the outdoors, practice leadership tactics, and plan, develop and give leadership to a service project that benefits their community.
💫 Ryan Budway: Ryan built an outdoor classroom for his Eagle Scout service project, including benches and display area at Hubbard Elementary School.
💫 Ryan Barrett: Ryan refurbished and rebuilt an accessway and ramp for service at St. John’s Soup Kitchen in Newark, NJ. Both will have lasting impacts for the community for years to come.
🎉 Congratulations to both Rams - this is an incredible example of community-focused learning and giving!
