Supervisor Schaffer, Town Officials Honor New Eagle Scout

North Babylon's Kenneth Cardali sponsored a food drive for his Eagle Scout project.

Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer recently joined with Town Deputy Supervisor Tony Martinez and Town Councilman Tom Donnelly at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony honoring Kenneth J. Cardali of North Babylon. The Eagle Scout is the highest rank available in the Boy Scouts organization. For his project, Cardali—of Boy Scouts Troop 95—organized a food drive that collected over 1,800 pounds of food for the Church of Christ in West Islip. In addition, the drive yielded over $400 in monetary donations which he used to purchase store gift cards.

Supervisor Schaffer thanked Cardali for his community service and presented him with an official Town of Babylon Proclamation to honor him for his achievement.
