exemplified the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by 
taking an active part in the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 214, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jakob has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jakob 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, Jakob has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jakob 
designed and rebuilt a walking bridge within the Parkville Nature 
Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri.
