Boy Scout Troop 237 of Orinda members Justin Lammert, Sam Sernett, Connor Stewart and Jesse Wilkinson, all seniors at Miramonte High School, achieved Scouting's highest rank of Eagle Scout and celebrated their Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday, Nov. 6, at the Orinda Community Church. Former Scoutmaster Eric Jorgensen presented the awards.
Troop 237, chartered by the Orinda Community Church, has served Orinda for 60 years and has seen over 230 of its young men achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. To become an Eagle, the candidate must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, including 13 Eagle-required badges, demonstrate leadership and scout spirit, and successfully complete an Eagle service project that benefits the community.
Justin, as the Consul Officer of the Miramonte High School Latin Club, designed a trophy display case for this nationally award-winning club. Sam, former Senior Patrol Leader of Troop 237, led the creation of customized, age-appropriate Lego kits for the homeless children in transitional housing at Shelter Inc.'s Antioch facility.
An avid outdoor enthusiast, Connor researched, constructed and installed four bat houses on 16-foot cedar posts near the Wagner Ranch Nature Area pond in Orinda. Jesse provided 80 Emergency Lock-Down kits for each classroom at Miramonte High School. Each kit contains first aid supplies, water, food, toilet paper, large plastic bags, and a toilet seat in a five-gallon bucket with a lid.
