Last night George Wendt presented a commendation at the County Board meeting to a new FIFTEEN YEAR Old Eagle Scout. Most recipients are around 17, but that’s not the story.
Jonathan Kunkes Eagle Scout project was a portable classroom for Pepper Ridge Elementary in honor of his sister who died at age 7.
This is a story of tragedy, loss, and overcoming the agony. Take a few minutes to be inspired, just hit play. Congrats to Jonathan and his family.

Diane – thank you for your thoughtful passage of this news –
Wish more young people were Scouts and shared their values. They build our future of good citizens.
What a wonderful story. I applaud this Eagle Scout and his family. I wish more parents would get their sons into Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. It sure beats video games.
