Malden's Newest Eagle Scout…
Shown above is Mayor Gary Christenson presenting Richard Lewis with a citation from the City of Malden. On March 24, 2012, the Malden resident and a member of Troop 20 Everett was recognized at an Eagle Court of Honor for his leadership, ingenuity, and perseverance in attaining the highest rank in scouting. Just 2% of all scouts ever earn the rank; however, Lewis is now the 15th member of the Everett troop to earn his Eagle.
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson attended the ceremony, thanking Richard for his dedication and commitment to scouting and his communities.
“The Cities of Everett and Malden are both lucky to have Richard as a member of their communities, and we are so very proud of this momentous accomplishment,” Christenson said.
Some of the volunteering includes the Dexter House, Bread of Life and the Malden Public Library, which are all situated in Malden.
Today, Lewis continues to work with Troop 20 as an Assistant Scoutmaster, and hopes to attend both Wood Badge training and a National Jamboree as an adult leader in the years to come.
