Jacob Wassey of Yorktown Troop 267 has earned his Eagle Scout rank, the highest possible rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
"It was a great honor for me to meet Jacob and learn about his project of trail repair and for the community in Peekskill," said Senator Greg Ball’s (R, C, I – Patterson) who presented him with a certificate of achievement. "I look forward to great things from Jacob in the future.”
For his Eagle Scout Project, Wassey did trail repair and raised walkways, prior conditions have made the trail inadequate to walk. Large rocks, roots, heavy rain and flooding made it impossible to pass. After he completed his project children are now able to use the trail for a safe passage to and from school and also to enjoy the outdoors.
