Troop 219 of Lafayette held an Eagle Court of Honor on Feb. 5 to recognize and celebrate four outstanding young men - Tyson Bates, Mathias Ceridono, Paul Kuhner and Drew Powell - all who have achieved BSA's highest rank, Eagle Scout. Troop 219 is immensely proud of their accomplishments.

In addition to earning 21+ merit badges to achieve the Eagle Scout rank, Scouts also completed the following community service projects: Bates helped construct and landscape an outdoor classroom at Acalanes High School; Ceridono built out Lafayette's storm assistance sandbag station, Kuhner greatly enhanced the outdoor seating area of the Acalanes Student Wellness Center, and Powell built 20 protective Screech Owl nesting boxes.

These four new Eagle Scouts received recognition and proclamations from the City of Lafayette and Vice Mayor Gina Dawson, local U.S. Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, California State Sen. Dianne Feinstein, The White House and Contra Costa County.
