Trustworthy, loyal, helpful and friendly are just a few of the words used to describe Patrick W. Young, who was elevated to the Boy Scouts of America’s highest rank of Eagle Scout in a ceremony held last Sunday.
“The Boy Scouts of all nations constitute one of the most wholesome and significant movements in the world’s history, and you have now been found worthy of the highest rank in its membership,” said Johnston State Rep. Stephen Ucci, himself an Eagle Scout also with Troop 20 Johnston, who repeated his master of ceremonies duty during the ceremony. “All who know you rejoice in your achievement. Your position is one of honor and responsibility. Eagle Scouts are marked men, and you have assumed a solemn obligation to do your duty to God, to your country, to your fellow scouts and all mankind.”
