James DeFehr of Troop 28 recently obtained the highest honor in Scouts BSA after working diligently on a charming lending library for a community he has known and loved throughout his life.
The library, situated on the grassy area just outside of Galt High School, served not only as a prerequisite for the Eagle award, but as a genuine expression of DeFehrâs commitment to service â particularly in a pandemic that has affected everyoneâs lives one way or another.
âItâs a take a penny, leave a penny system â but for books,â DeFehr explained. âThereâs no record taken; if you see a book you like, you can take it and, if you want to donate, you can donate.â
