Locals reach Eagle Scout ranking

Boy Scout Troop 671 of St. Hedwig’s Church in Los Alamitos is celebrating three of their young men at the Eagle Court of Honor. Edgar Jaramillo of Cypress, Matthew Kriege of Los Alamitos and Nicholas Camferdam of Seal Beach have been together since Cub Scouts (Pack 620 of St Hedwig Church).

Sun View Elementary School in Huntington Beach benefited from Jamarillo’s Eagle project where he rehabilitated the school’s vegetable garden for their Life Science classes. Kriege’s project was to build an enclosure that beautified the area near the baseball field including constructing two block walls 6 foot tall by 6 foot long with swinging gates, extensive planting and transplanting of greenery.  St. Hedwig’s benefited from Camferdam’s project where he took on a series of landscaping and renovations involving the removal a tree, transplanting old plants and installing over 80 new plants. A new gate was also built to keep children and families off the street during after-school pickup.

The Boy Scout program worked well for these young men as they are all headed for

college in the fall. Jaramillo is in his second year at United World College, Kriege is attending Azusa Pacific University and Camferdam is headed to Purdue University.
