Great work, guys

Tristan Benwell, Bryson Phillips, Nathan Vickery, Trey Lowe and David Horsley

Five Boy Scouts, (pictured, from left) Tristan Benwell, Bryson Phillips, Nathan Vickery, Trey Lowe and David Horsley, were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at a Court of Honor ceremony for Troop 599, sponsored by Memorial Drive United Methodist Church (MDUMC). Benwell and Phillips are juniors at Memorial High School, Vickery is a senior at Westchester Academy for International Studies, and Lowe and Horsley are seniors at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory. To earn the top rank, Benwell built toy shelves for the Larkin Center, which is a MDUMC outreach center for parents transitioning into the workforce. Phillips designed and organized construction of a footbridge and wood chip path through the courtyard at Shadow Oaks Elementary School. Vickery planned and coordinated the construction of six benches that were installed in the courtyard for Westchester Academy for International Studies, providing much-needed seating for students during lunchtime. Lowe’s project involved building a 41-yard brick and crushed-granite sidewalk for Angela House, a residential, transitional facility for women exiting the criminal justice system. Horsley designed and constructed six 6-by-8-foot wooden shelves for a children’s ministry storage room at MDUMC.
