Nicholas Nguyen Van Oss and Cole James Robertson have earned the rank of Eagle Scout and were presented with their award at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony on July 9 at the Lafayette Community Center. They are members of Boy Scout Troop 224 in Lafayette under the direction of Scoutmaster Kyle Blocker.
Van Oss, 18, is the son of Bill and Khanh Van Oss. HIs Eagle Scout community service project was constructing and planting a brick herb spiral which you can observe at the Lafayette Community Garden. Van Oss enlisted 21 volunteers, 13 of them scouts, to aid in the building of the structure in the first phase of the project. A month later, when the soil and bricks had settled, a multitude of herbs were planted in the spiral.
Robertson is the son of J. Michael Robertson and Karen Chelini. For Robertson's Eagle community service project he and his team built a 90-foot split rail fence for the Lafayette Community Garden. Robertson and his volunteers built the fence on a rainy day on Jan. 23 to honor his grandfather Col. James R Robertson. Despite the weather Cole and team built the fence in one day.
