MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Congratulations to these four Middletown young men, who attained the rank of Eagle Scout this spring.

There was an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony last Saturday at United Methodist Church to congratulate the four members of Troop 32.

Ryan Belle completed his community service project by building picnic tables and landscaping the outdoor area for HABCore homes in Beachwood. HABCore is an organization in Red Bank that provides temporary and permanent housing for struggling families.

Matthew Decker refurbished and painted the guardrail that runs along the driveway of the Oasis Foundation, which is a farm that provides meaningful work and healthy residences for autistic individuals. He also created two crushed stone pull-off areas along the driveway to make it easier when cars are coming from both directions.

Daniel DeSanctis designed and built a wheelchair-accessible patio at De La Salle Hall, a nursing home facility in Lincroft.
