Orinda Boy Scout Troop 237 held an Eagle Court of Honor on March 22 at the Orinda Community Church to honor two Eagle Scouts - Jack Kovalik and Mark Laughton. Both are graduating seniors at Miramonte High School. Their scoutmaster is Eric Jorgensen.

For his Eagle service project, Kovalik sourced, funded and installed a trophy sports information case for the Miramonte High School men's baseball and women's softball teams. Laughton's Eagle service project involved painting and beautifying the blacktop play area at Markham Elementary School in Oakland in support of Playworks (www.playworks.org) to facilitate productive recess and after school programs at the school.
