Two achieve Eagle Scout rank

Troop 624 scouts Devin Nelson and Eric Dubofsky have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.

Troop 624 scouts Devin Nelson and Eric Dubofsky have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Their accomplishments were celebrated with a Court of Honor at the Mercer Island Presbyterian church on Nov. 29.

Nelson and Dubofsky and Eric joined Troop 624 about the same time and in the same patrol. Both have served as Senior Patrol Leaders and completed a 50-mile hike on the Pacific Crest trail last summer.

Nelson’s Eagle Project consisted of cataloging and organizing all of the emergency supplies for the North end of Mercer Island. Over two days, he led a work party of several scouts in counting,  organizing and recording the items.

After the materials were taken out, they organized the items by function, and placed them back into their respective areas in an order based on how quickly the items would be needed in the event of a disaster.

Dubofsky’s Eagle Project involved creating and organizing an inventory of emergency supplies at the South end of the Island.  Eric summarized the master supply list to accommodate the south end needs then led a work party of Boy Scouts to inventory and re-supply the emergency container for both the South end and Islander Middle school.

Both scouts are seniors at Mercer Island High School.
