BALLSTON SPA — Kevin Blake, 18, is the newest Eagle Scout of Troop 1 of Ballston Spa. He received the rank of Eagle Scout at a recent Eagle Court of Honor held at the Ballston Spa United Methodist Church. Kevin is the son of Lynne and Jeff Blake, 22 Timber Trace, Ballston Spa, NY. Troop 1 is sponsored by the Ballston Spa United Methodist Church.

Kevin’s Eagle Project was designing and constructing a handicap access ramp to the Ballston Spa United Methodist Church’s food pantry. He had to present his idea and plan to the troop committee, the church council and the Village of Ballston Spa Trustees. The ramp will help to make easy access to the food pantry that services 100 families a month.

Kevin is a senior at Ballston Spa High School where he is a candidate for the Regents diploma with advanced designation and honors. Kevin plans to attend Hartwick College; his academic interests are biology, pre-med, English, and art.
