Port Washington Welcomes Newest Eagle Scout

One Port Washington resident was recently recognized for attaining the highest rank in Boy Scouts.

Jack Fishman was the most recent member of his troop to become an Eagle Scout.

Senator Jack M. Martins recently honored Fishman for his achievement at the United Methodist Church of Port Washington.

“It’s extraordinarily hard to earn this extraordinary honor; only four percent of boy scouts ever attain the rank of Eagle Scout,” Martins said. “After years of hard work to meet the rigorous standards needed to become an Eagle Scout, and with the help and support of his family and his troop, Jack has earned a place among scouting’s most elite. Congratulations on achieving this prestigious honor.”
