Assabet, MarlboroughStudent Earns Eagle Scout

MARLBOROUGH, MA—Eleven years ago, Corey Daly joined Troop 41 in Marlborough, and may not have thought about shooting for the highest rank possible in the scouts, but has done just that.

Daly earned Eagle Scout recently, announced Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School, where Daly is a student.

As part of the requirements for that rank, scouts must have a project that is approved by the Council, and Daly decided to do a project involving Stevens Field in Marlborough. As a former Little League player, he has many memories of that field, said the announcement. He chose to make baseball helmet cabinets, with little cubbies made from scratch and numbered so the coaches could assign a number to a player and the helmets would be readily available.

“We did some fundraising, and Home Depot was very generous, as was an Assistant Scoutmaster, Ken Blomquist, who donated the painting supplies,” he explained in a statement. “The actual Court of Honor will be sometime this summer, but although it was a lot of work, we made some great memories, and it really helped hone my leadership skills. There will be a little plaque that says the work was done by Troop 41!”

Daly just graduated from Assabet’s Drafting program, and plans to attend Merrimack College to focus on Engineering. At Assabet, he enjoyed playing baseball and basketball, and ran Cross Country.
