Ryan Kim receives Eagle Scout Award

Ryan Kim completed his Eagle Board of Review and was honored at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on August 19, 2025. Ryan is the son of Becky Yoo and Patrick Kim of Livermore.

He is a member of Troop 939, sponsored by the First Presbyterian Church of Livermore. Thanks go to his Scoutmaster Ken Holloway for his dedication to Scouting and help along the way.

Ryan has been active in Scouting and has been a leader in the troop as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader and Quartermaster.

Ryan loves Scouting because he enjoyed camping with close friends, going on beautiful hikes, and meeting new people. Some key things he learned were CPR, how to use camping equipment such as a stove, and how to set up tarp tents. He started in scouting as a 6 year old in Cub Pack 939, moving to Pack 942, he received his Arrow of Light in the 5th grade. After joning Troop 939, he quickly moved up the ranks to Eagle, planning and finishing his Eagle Project and all the requirements.

For his Eagle Scout project, he built two flower beds for the Sycamore Grove park entrances in Livermore. The project used a total of 22 helpers working about 147 hours. An assistant Scout Masters was able to provide the wood to use on the flower beds, and we purchased the smaller items like screws and borrowed the power tools from adults. The scouts seemed to really enjoy working on the project with their friends. At the end, our In-N-Out treat was enjoyed by all.

Ryan is a sophomore at Granada High School. He would like to swim in college and hopes to be a swim coach, a photographer, or anything along the lines of sports management.

To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Scout must be active in their troop, provide leadership, earn 21 merit badges including the areas of citizenship, camping, communications, cooking and lifesaving or emergency preparedness as well as demonstrate that they live by the principles of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. They must also plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project benefiting a religious institution, school, or community group.
