Troop 66 recognizes seven new Eagle Scouts

The Boy Scouts of America Troop 66 of Dunmore recognized seven new Eagle Scouts at a ceremony in the Presbyterian Church, Chestnut Street. The scouts were recognized for their commitment to faith, nature, their community, and their country. 

“Each of them, as part of their eagle project, had to do a service project. Some of them were done at this church, where one of them redid a set of stairs, another redid some landscaping, another of our scouts redid a fence at McDade Park,” said Larry Durkin, Mentor Boy Scouts of America Troop 66.

Durkin says this is the first time in Troop 66’s over 70-year history that they are honoring this many new Eagle Scouts, who are shown from left: Luke Kalinowski, Bryce Talutto, CJ Muir, Peter Durkin, Congressman Matt Cartwright, Martin Smith, Caden Kirby, and Zach Eynon.
