The friends and family of six Los Altos-based Scouts recently celebrated earning their Eagle Scout rank, the highest designation in Scouts BSA, formerly known as Boy Scouts of America.
Mountain View High graduates Noah Ghosh, Josh Lillie, Ian Ma, Tyler Marlett and Sam Thome and Stanford Online High School graduate Andrew Chiang of Saratoga were honored June 30 during a ceremony at Los Altos Lutheran Church, the headquarters for their weekly Troop 31 meetings.
To earn the Eagle rank, Scouts must complete a service project that benefits the community. Their projects included;
⢠Ghosh: retaining wall at Los Altos Lutheran Church.
⢠Lillie: redwood bridge play structure at Mountain View Parent Nursery School.
Local high school seniors are set to walk the stage at graduation next month with their classmates in a live, in-person ceremony, albeit one that still includes pandemic precautions.

SAVING OUR PLANET: We re all trying to do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint, but how do we capture the carbon that s already out there? This free display brings together information and objects on how both forestry and technology can capture carbon including a mechanical tree that does a fantastic job of it, even though it looks nothing like a tree. There s a fun interactive (and contactless) piece where you can have a go at tackling thorny policy around reducing carbon emissions. There s even some vodka made from captured carbon although no samples, unfortunately. This small exhibition may not have too many eye-catching objects but it tackles a hugely important issue affecting all of our futures.
