Seven young men were honored recently in Cypress at a “Boy Scout Court of Honor” ceremony for completing the requirements to receive the award of Eagle Scout.
The Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in Boy Scouts. Requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating an attitude of service and leadership. The final requirement is an extensive service project for which the scouts plan, organize, lead and manage the effort.
These scouts were no exception. Several service projects included local school improvements at Cypress High School, Oxford Academy, Luther Elementary and Hope High School. A Child Abduction Prevention Fair was held in Buena Park and WE CARE of Los Alamitos had rolling storage units built for them to meet their food storage needs.
Cypress Mayor Doug Bailey honored Brennon Coleman, Bryce Mattson, Parker Smith and Tim Mauss of Cypress with a Community Recognition plaque.
“It was a pleasure for me to take part in the Eagle Scout Court of Honor,” Bailey said. “These seven young men embody the virtues and social responsibility that the Boy Scouts of America seeks to instill in our young people.”
The Court of Honor was held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cypress.
