BALLSTON SPA — At a recent Troop 1 Court of Honor, Henry Burkert received his Eagle Scout Award at the Ballston Spa United Methodist church. Burkert is the son of Amy and Karl Burkert.

To earn the Eagle Scout rank, a scout has to mas- ter numerous scout skills,

demonstrate leadership skills and citizenship. A scout has to earn 21 merit badges of which 12 are required. A scout has to perform many hours of commu- nity service and have held lead- ership positions in the troop.

Finally, a scout has to plan, organize and supervise a major service project that will

benefit a chosen organization. Burkert’s Eagle Scout project was to design a picnic area in Biose Family Park in Rock City Falls. The project coordinated the installation of picnic tables and grills and the clearing of a large area within the park.

Burkert is now attending SUNY Oneonta as an English major.
