Meet Huntington's Newest Eagle Scouts

Lupinacci recently honored two members of Boy Scout Troop 78 with New York State citations for achieving the rank of Eagle.

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R,C,I-South Huntington) joined members of Boy Scout Troop 78 at the Halesite Fire Department Sunday night to honor Tyler Varacchi and Michael Signorile for achieving the rank of Eagle. Lupinacci presented both young men with an official New York State citation and a pin in commemoration of their accomplishments.

“As a duly elected member of the New York State Assembly, it is so encouraging to see today’s youth taking pride in our nation, giving back to our community and portraying outstanding character throughout their time as a Boy Scout,” Lupinacci said. “It is an extreme honor and accomplishment to be awarded the rank of Eagle, as you are now a member of a historic and storied fraternity. I proudly applaud Tyler and Michael for their exceptional efforts and their service to our community, the great state of New York and the United States of America.”
