Brett Bailey from Troop 147 Earns his Eagle Scout Award

Richboro resident Brett Bailey recently earned his Eagle Scout Award and was recognized in a special Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony.

 Brett, a member BSA Bucks County Council Troop 147 out of the Northampton Presbyterian Church in Holland Pa, earned Boy Scouts highest honor after successfully completing his eagle service project, a walkway along the picnic grove at the Northampton Municipal Park. 

 Brett designed, excavated, and constructed a 65-foot long paver walkway up to an existing patio and sitting wall previously built by two other Troop 147 Eagle scouts at Northampton Municipal Park. The walkway completed a picnic grove area for the public use adjacent to the playground at that park.

 Brett, son of Barry Bailey and Rose Giardine, is a junior at Council Rock High School South.  He is a member of the Council Rock High School South symphonic orchestra, chamber orchestra, symphonic choir, and South Vocal ensemble. Brett plays the Piano, Cello, Bass, and Accordion; is a member of the Council Rock High School South Golden Wings Theater Company, and is an avid snow skier.

Brett plans to attend college and pursue a career in music composition.

 Brett is presently the Senior Patrol leader of Troop 147 and has earned one Eagle Palm, 39 merit badges, attended six summer camps, 161 nights of camping, 62 camping trips, 252 miles of hiking on official camping trips, and is a member of the Order of the Arrow. Brett has also attended trips to Philmont High adventure camp and Florida Sea Base High adventure camp. Brett joined cub scouts in 2003 and joined boy scouts in 2008 and earned his Eagle Scout rank in May of 2013.

 Brett’s quote about his achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is as follows:

“Being an Eagle Scout defines me as a person. It shows how I handle challenges and rise above adversity.  Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout has helped me become a true leader and has let me influence other people in my daily life.”
