Huge congratulations to Peter Kay on officially achieving the rank of Eagle Scout! 🏆

Reaching Eagle is no small feat—only a tiny percentage of Scouts make it to the top of this mountain. It represents years of hard work, growth and leadership.

A special shoutout to Peter for his incredible Eagle Scout project: building a bridge to keep hiking accessible to all in the Friends Of The Berkshire National Fish Hatchery. Your hard work made a lasting difference in our community!

Troop 23 is immensely proud of the leader, mentor, and Scout you have become. You’ve set a fantastic standard for all of our younger Scouts to follow.
