Boy Scout earns Eagle award
Mac McDonald, a member of Boy Scout Troop 312 from Edmonds United Methodist Church, recently earned the distinction of Eagle Scout.
Mac worked with Clothes for Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides no-cost wardrobes to low-income families in South Snohomish County. Mac’s project included reworking a laundry room, reorganizing the workspace and added shelving to the display area.
Mac’s scouting career began in second grade. Along with all the other scouting activities, he has made two 50-mile hikes through the Pasayten Wilderness, and covered just as many miles completing the Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit in Canada.
