At a special Court of Honor held in St. Mary’s Church, five scouts from Simsbury Troop 175 were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout, the Boy Scout’s highest honor. The scouts receiving the honor were Lee Adamowicz, Cortlandt Carter, Dan Kalamarides, Grant Osbourne and Michael Vallen. Over 200 people attended the ceremony that included representatives from the Town of Simsbury and the State of Connecticut.
"These guys represent the best of Scouting and have collectively climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, explored deep in the Amazon jungle, explored the deserts of Philmont, the National Boy Scout Ranch and have set a sterling example for the younger boys in the Troop," said Scoutmaster Brad Mead.
Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Duff for their guidance to each of the Eagle scouts.
