Moraga Boy Scout Troop 212 presented its 54th Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday, April 30 at Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church to recognize the achievements of 10 new Eagle Scouts: Spencer Drennan, Evan Gabrielson, Paul Gannett, Calvin Gee, Chris Gonser, Brian Gross, Eddie Gross, Chad Sonnenschein, Daniel Warner and Chris Wright.

Each young man participated in an average of 50 camping trips, including wilderness camp, 50-mile Sierra treks and high adventure experiences such as fishing in Alaska, kayaking in Oregon and pack-rafting in Montana.

For their Eagle projects, on average involving about 100 hours of planning, leadership and work, this group of Eagles focused largely on schools and improving educational experiences for students locally and around the world.

Drennan and Brian Gross built and installed garden boxes at Merriewood Children's Center and Los Perales Elementary School. Warner refurbished Richmond High School's band room while Wright installed a permanent basketball hoop at Campolindo High School. Gabrielson built furniture for Harbor House in Oakland and Gannett rebuilt a storage shed for MVPC Nurtury Preschool.

Gee and Sonnenschein both collected backpacks and school supplies, one for Amor Ministries in Mexico and the other for Kids Alive International in the Dominican Republic. Gonser refurbished donated laptops for Kids Alive International in Peru.

Eddie Gross made over 100 survival strap bracelets for overseas US troops.

Troop 212, under the leadership of Scoutmaster John 'Otter' Drennan, is chartered by Moraga Valley Presbyterian Church. Since 1963, Troop 212 has awarded 415 Eagle Scouts with Scouting's highest honor.
