Proud of our latest Troop 500 Eagle Scout!!

This is what Leadership Looks Like: Congratulations, Veritas Sophomore, Sam Menorca — Eagle Scout!

We are proud to recognize Veritas Sophomore, Sam Menorca, for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting!

Sam has been a student at Veritas since the 6th grade—now in his fifth year with us—and has consistently demonstrated the perseverance, leadership, and integrity that define both a Veritas student and an Eagle Scout.

Earning this distinction at such a young age is a remarkable accomplishment, requiring years of commitment, service, and skill. Sam’s Eagle Project brought together Veritas classmates and friends, including Jack Gunlock and Joe Hensen, who joined him in making a meaningful impact on the community.

Please join us in congratulating Sam on this outstanding achievement! We couldn’t be prouder of the young man he’s becoming.

Sam's Eagle Scout Project

Two benches for the Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church. Troop 500 has been meeting at CHPC since 1993 when Troop 500 was formed. This is the first Eagle Scout project which benefits CHPC.

The second photo is of some of the church members at the blessing of the pets and you can see some of them sitting on the new benches.
