Port Washington Welcomes Newest Eagle Scouts

Four members from Port Washington Troop 7 were recently awarded the highest recognition in Boy Scouts.

Congratulations to:

• Kevin Dans
• Kyle Harding
• Jonathan Kobrinsky
• Andrew Russotto

Port Washington Troop 7 was founded in 1914, four years after The Boy Scouts of America was founded. A ceremony to honor the community’s newest Eagle Scouts was held at the United Methodist Church.

Assemb. Anthony D’Urso attended the ceremony and congratulated the Eagle Scouts.

“I am very impressed with the accomplishments of their remarkable service projects and proud that these young men who reached the challenging goal of Eagle Scouts live in our community,” he said.

Scout projects:

• Dans spread mulch, built two picnic tables and planted flowers along the Hempstead Harbor Trail. This gave people a place to sit and relax.
• Harding built and installed 60 wooden devices for the senior citizen Landmark residents which are used to open their heavy windows.
• Kobrinsky cleared an outdoor area next to Manorhaven Elementary School and helped to build benches which can be used for open-air classrooms when the weather is nice.
• Russotto planted, cleaned and repaired two gardens next to the Landmark building which makes the area more pleasant.
