Lee Adamowicz was born on August 7, 1991 in Barrington, Rhode
Island. For the first two years of his life he lived in Barrington right
by the ocean. He then moved to Alpharetta, Georgia where he spent
another two years until his family finally settled down in Simsbury,
Connecticut. He has spent his entire school career in the Simsbury
public school system, starting at Central Elementary, to Henry James
for middle school, and finally reaching Simsbury High School, where
he is currently finishing his junior year.
Lee began his scouting career as a Bobcat in Saint Mary’s Pack 175
in 1999, where his mother was the den leader of Den 12. After
achieving his Arrow of Light award in the 5th grade, Lee crossed
over to Boy Scout Troop 175, which was then led by Scoutmaster
Rich Cady.
Lee’s favorite memories from scouting consist of the deep freeze
trips, and the challenge of building his own shelters, as well as
Summer Camp Mattituck 2008 and the Bear Grylls skit. He has
enjoyed all the Immortals trips and the physical and mental tests that
are presented throughout the weekend.
For his Eagle Scout project, Lee chose to help the American School
for the Deaf. ASD owns Camp Isola Bella in Salisbury and Lee
undertook several improvements to the camp. Lee, with the help of
many scouts from Troop 175, cleared hiking trails as well as built and
placed four birdhouses, four benches, and a picnic table. These
improvements will lead to improved education for the children
attending the camp as well as improved safety while at camp.
Other interests of Lee’s besides Boy Scouts include being a cadet in
the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company for 2 ½ years, operating a
successful lawn/snow blowing business for six years, and rowing on
the Varsity Crew team at Simsbury High School. In his free time Lee
enjoys mountain biking, skiing, and running. Lee is looking forward
to attending National Outdoor Leadership School this summer for a
four-week course on mountaineering in the Waddington Mountain
Range in British Columbia.
