Eight Winder-Barrow High School students in Eagle Scouts Troop 750 were recognized by the Board of Education Jan. 10 for their many contributions to the community.
This group of scouts has completed or are on track to complete their Eagle Scout project. Many of the boys have been together since elementary school, which is quite an accomplishment given that typically only 5% of scouts stay in and reach their Eagle rank.
Troop 750 is led by Scout Master Brad Smith and committee chair Andy Yother.
The following are their community contributions:
Adam West, 12th grade - Magnolia Estates of Winder, Assisted Living Care. Adam built benches, planters and an outside storage shed for tools and equipment
Jacob Smith, 12th grade - WBHS Cross Country cleared and marker cross country trails for meets, added markers and built a podium for athletes to receive awards
Connor Patterson, 12th grade - Adventure Bags Inventory Modernization Training, Community Supply Drive and added industrialized shelving
Ryan West, 10th grade - First Christian Church of Winder. Ryan built benches, trail signs, fire pit, planted trees
David Koss, 12th grade - Winder Library, created and built an outside reading area with benches for children's story timeÂ
