On Tuesday, Oct. 25, Boy Scout Troop 468 celebrated its five recent Eagle Scouts, the highest rank and honor in scouting.
Each of the scouts had been part of the program for several years, first starting off as cub scouts, according to an email by Joanna Voss, BSA Troop 568 committee chair. They each did service projects, participated in extracurricular activities in school and all completed an Eagle project, where they were tasked with leading a team.
The troop's new Eagle Scouts are Treneir Washington, Jacob Grant, Jacob Williams, Will Cross and Jackson Williams.
Washington, 18, has been Scouting for 11 years. For his Eagle project, he built three benches for the Windows in the Forest section at the Museum of Arts and Sciences. A student at Mainland High School, Washington is both in band and on the track team. During the summers, he volunteers at St. Andrew Catholic School in Orlando, as well as has participated in serving spaghetti dinners with his fellow Boy Scouts, Scouting for Food, and beach cleanups.

For his Eagle project, he planned and built a 40-foot long, 6-foot wide boardwalk to the water at YMCA Camp Winona to help mitigate erosion, as well as improve accessibility and safety.
