Andrew Bozzi achieved the highest rank in Boy Scouts of America, becoming an Eagle Scout on October 12, 2022. A senior at North Hunterdon High School, he is the son of Ted and Pam Bozzi of Annandale and a member of Troop 200 chartered by the Lebanon Reformed Church.
For his Eagle project, Andrew designed and organized a team of volunteers to build a community garden on Cherry Street in Lebanon Borough, sponsored by the Lebanon Reformed Church. Moving forward, members of the church will continue to maintain the garden.
“I chose this project because I enjoy being outside and felt that the Borough of Lebanon would benefit from having a community garden,” explains Andrew. “I have learned a lot about project management, leading others and what it takes to get a plan off the ground and completed.”
