finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part 
in the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 1040, and earning the most

  William has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years William has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, William has 
earned the Ad Altare Dei emblem, recognizing his development and growth 
into a fully Christian way of life in the faith community. William has 
also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
William built a delivery ramp for the Grace United Church soup kitchen,

effectiveness in providing for their community.
