qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 288, and in earning the most prestigious

scout activities. Over the many years Jonathan has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
