New eagles take flight

Thirteen members of Boy Scout Troop 211 earned the rank of Eagle Scout in a ceremony at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Only three percent of scouts achieve the honor, and having such a large number from one troop in a single year is extraordinary. Reverend Patrick Miller delivered the invocation and Emeritus Scoutmaster Frank Neukomm introduced the new Eagle Scouts. Each Eagle spoke about his experience with scouting, and shared stories of friendships that have lasted for years. After the ceremony, Troop 211 joined friends and families, including girls’ Troop 1211, at a barbecue lunch to celebrate. The new Eagle Scouts are (top row, from left) Jude Johnson, David Anapolsky, Anand Mehta, Benjamin Rozic, Jacob Rozic, Zachary Cepulis, Sebastian Rozo, and Davis Barnett; (bottom row, from left) Zach Daube, Nathaniel Barnett, Julien Puerto, and Matthew Cepulis; not pictured: Henry Johnson.
