scout activities. Over the many years Anthony 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, Anthony has

has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Anthony redesigned the trailer for the Blue Springs High School 
marching band, including the welding, fabricating and assembly of the 
parts needed to properly protect the instruments during transportation.
