Knox Trail Council Recognizes
Class of 2011 - 2012 Eagle Scouts

Marlborough, Massachusetts – May 4, 2011 - The Knox Trail Council Boy Scouts of America honored its Class of 2011 - 2012 Eagle Scouts at a banquet held at the Marlborough Marriott. Organized by the Council’s National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) Committee, over 100 Scouts, parents, Scout leaders, and mentors attended to celebrate the Scouts’ achieving the highest rank in Boy Scouting.

The Council also recognized Jack Slattery of Troop 1 Stow as the first recipient of the Knox Trail Council Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year. Jack’s project involved writing, directing and producing a short video about The West School, a historic one-room schoolhouse in Stow, MA. The 1825 building is currently an active museum containing many historical artifacts. Jack conceived the short educational video to help museum visitors better imagine what it was like to go to school there in the 1800’s.

Jack also spoke of "what being an Eagle Scout means to me." "Growing up and moving through the ranks of Scouting to achieve the Eagle rank has certainly impacted the type of person I am today. It is exciting and amazing to see how people react when they learn you are an Eagle Scout. There is a respect that comes to anyone who dedicates themselves to the pursuit of such a significant goal and achieves it. It says we are not quitters. It says we are not afraid of hard work and sacrifice. It says we are men of character. It speaks volumes."

The Council estimates that the Class of 2011 - 2012 provided a total of approximately 20,000 hours in community service through leadership service projects across the 21 towns it serves.

Special thanks to EMC and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for their support of this annual event.
