Troop 490 Scout Huxley Conner earns his Eagle Rank

On Monday February 10, 2014, Huxley Conner of Troop 490 passed his Eagle Board of Review becoming Troop 490's newest Eagle Scout.  The Board of Review was held at St. Andrew's Church, where Troop 490 holds their weekly meetings. The Board was made up of District Advancement Committee members Alec Taylor and David Blanchard, Troop 490 Advancement Chair, Paul Rossi, and Troop 490Committee member Scott Swenson and the Troop Chairman. 

Huxley began his road to Eagle Scout as a Wolf cub in Pack 491 in Madison. As a Webelo II he crossed over to Troop 490 in 2007. He has been an active Scout and a leaderin the Troop. He has been on many camp outs with the Troop and attended Summer Camp at Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island. Huxley attends the Sound School in New Haven.

Huxley's Eagle project was the restoration of the sailboat "SHAZAM" for SAILCTACCESS.ORG a group committed to helpingthe handicapped experience the joys of Sailing. Huxley organized a groups of scouts and friends to sand, repair,varnish  and paint the sailboat.

As Troop Committee Chairman I want to congratulate Huxley on earning the Eagle Rank, and thank him for all his time and dedication to the Troop. An Eagle Court of Honor will be  planned  for some date in the future.
