4 Paramus Scouts Advance To Rank Of Eagle Scout

PARAMUS, NJ – Four Boy Scouts from Troop 205 in Paramus recently advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout.

An Eagle Scout Court of Honor will be held on Jan. 11 to recognize Andrew Lang, Johnathan Wong, Scott Chung and Ryan Fernando for their dedication to scouting and achieving the rank of Eagle.

Here are some more details about the community projects each took on to become an Eagle Scout:

• Andrew Lang worked with the Bergenfield Veterans Museum to refurbish the museum. There was memorabilia and relics from the servicemen of Bergenfield just placed on tables in the rooms and worked tirelessly sorting the artifacts, framing where needed, labeling and displaying these for all to visit and see.
• Johnathan Wong built a greenhouse using recycled 2-liter soda bottles for the kindergartners of Stony Lane School. This project was a desire of the Kindergarten teacher and completed in time for the opening of school this September and the students were already planting in the green house.
• Scott Chung built 3 rolling planters for the Midland School in Paramus. These planters are on wheels allowing the teachers to roll them outside during the day to allow the students to plant in them. These were also a collaboration of the scout and principle and teachers. They were completed and the students already have plantings growing in them.
• Ryan Fernando built three picnic tables with chess boards imbedded in them for the Midland School in Paramus. These tables are used by the students during the school year. This was a project that Ryan and Mrs. Hulse, School Principle, collaborated on for the school. The project was completed as agreed and both the faculty and students were completely satisfied with the tables.
