Laguna Beach Troop 35 of the Orange County Council of Scouts BSA, and chartered by the Laguna Presbyterian Church, are proud to announce the progression of another scout on his journey to the highest achievement available in Scouts BSA, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America.
Elliott Leeds completed 15 music stands for his Eagle Scout Project and delivered them to Laguna Beach High School Jazz Band teacher Steven Wade on Dec. 11. The project took months to plan, design, fund, and build. Although Elliott hasn’t quite completed his Eagle Scout Rank yet, he’s getting close. He’s still working on a Merit Badge, Eagle Scout Project paperwork, and a Board of Review hearing.
