Honors
Scout achieves Eagle rank
Jarid Julian Westover, a senior at Monroe High School, is to be honored at an Eagle Court of Honor at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Maltby Christian Assembly, 9322 Paradise Lake Road.
He is the son of Rick and Dawn Westover of Snohomish and a member of Woodinville’s Troop 422 of North Lakes District. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout on April 27.
The Eagle Scout rank is the highest and most recognized award in the Boy Scouts of America. To receive this award, a Boy Scout must earn 21 merit badges and have multiple leadership positions in his troop. In order to complete the Eagle Scout requirement, a Scout must plan, organize and lead an approved service project that benefits the community.
Westover chose to design and implement the construction of a sign for the Maltby Food Bank. The project included the landscaping around the sign.
“I did some volunteer work at the Maltby Food Bank and after talking with the director, we both concluded that there was a need for a new sign to be built,” he said. “The hardest part of the project was trying to piece everything together after the commitment had been made and finish it in a timely manner.”
From the planning stage to the finished project, Westover spent about 200 hours on the project.
Also involved were his family, Maltby Food Bank director Fran Walster and the many scouts and volunteers from Troop 422.
Donations for the project were contributed by Boise Cascade, Chinook Lumber, Trendset, Sunbelt Rentals, Maltby Pizza &Pasta, Eddie Fugelsang, Richard Colburn and Snyder Roofing.
Westover will be captain of the cross-country team and recently lettered in soccer and band. He plans to attend a four-year university and major in criminal justice.
