Bruno earns rank of Eagle Scout
Brendan K. Bruno, 17, of Auburn, Washington, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout on April 15 as conferred by the BSA National Office, Irving, Texas; BSA Chief Seattle Council, Seattle, Washington; and BSA Troop 474, Kent, Washington. The Eagle Scout rank is the highest advancement awarded by the Boy Scouts of America. Only about 4 percent of all scouts entering the BSA program achieve Eagle Scout. An important part in earning the rank is planning and completing an Eagle Scout Leadership Community Service Project. Brendan’s project, completed in December 2009, involved removing the noxious plant English Ivy from a 5,000 square-foot area within the Dash Point State Park, Federal Way, Washington. A Court of Honor celebrating Brendan’s achievement of Eagle Scout was held by his BSA Troop 474 on August 24 at the St. James Episcopal Church, Kent, Washington. At the ceremony, Scoutmaster Kent Brooten delivered the Eagle Charge, Oath, and awards to Brendan.
