BRUNSWICK

Three Brunswick Scouts from Troop 648 celebrated obtaining the rank of Eagle at an Eagle Court of Honor on June 20. Scouts Quinn Solberg, Sean Scanlon and Brian Hess celebrated the accomplishment surrounded by family, friends and fellow scouts at St. Charles Church.

“Quinn, Sean and Brian did an amazing job,” former Troop 648 Scoutmaster Will Bennett said. “They have all had the opportunity to demonstrate the skills needed that earned them their Eagle. I cannot wait to see what great things these three do in the future.”

To become an Eagle Scout, a scout must complete a series of merit badge educational opportunities that include First Aid, Communication, Cooking and Citizenship in the World, among others. The scout must also take on leadership positions and work with other scouts to accomplish tasks. The scout must also complete a service project that benefits a religious organization, a school or the community.

“Earning your Eagle is not an easy thing,” Mike Labbe, a longtime adviser to Troop 648 and former Scoutmaster, said. “Earning your Eagle is not an easy thing. Each of these young men had challenges that had to be overcome, and they did well in achieving their goals.”
