Three local boys honored as new Eagle Scouts

Newly appointed Eagle Scouts Chris Stone, James Wagner and Brian Anstead at the Scout Court of Honor in December.

On a beautiful December afternoon, local Boy Scout Troop 77 from St. Ladislas Catholic Church honored the following young men as they earned the elite rank of Eagle: Brian Anstead, Chris Stone and James Wagner.   

The Boy Scout Court of Honor included recognition from local political leaders such as State Senator Tom Patton, State Representative Nan Baker and Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough. Communications from national leaders included Senator Sherrod Brown, Senator Rob Portman, Congressman Dennis Kucinich and a special letter from President Obama.  

The rank of Eagle Scout takes several years to earn and includes the completion of a major local service project. Only about 2% of the boys who become Boy Scouts finally earn the highest rank of Eagle.

The Westlake Historical Society was proud to work with Brian Anstead on his service project, and congratulates all three boys on their achievement!
