Life Rank Boy Scout, Samuel A. Sola, with the assistance of 15 volunteers, built hand sanitizing stations for Sacred Heart High and Grade Schools for his Eagle Project. Sanitizing stations are a vital part of the schools’ re-opening plan for September and Sola’s project fulfilled their need. The project involved constructing 16 stands out of plywood and painting them. This is the final step for Sola to complete to receive the highly coveted rank of Eagle Scout.
Samuel Sola, a resident of Yonkers, is the son of Samuel and Ssive Sola. He is a member of Boy Scout Troop 12 Yonkers and a rising senior at Fordham Preparatory School, Bronx, New York. Sola expects to receive his new rank of Eagle in the Fall.
The fact that a scout earns the rank of Eagle has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also for the young man as he enters higher education, business, and community service. Only about four percent of all Scouts earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
Boy Scout Troop 12 is an active, scout led troop that meets on Tuesday nights September to June in the Sacred Heart Church Hall. The troop camps and hikes monthly.
