Congratulations to Troop 834’s newest Eagle Scouts!

Nikhil is a graduate of South Fayette High School and is now a freshman at Penn State University.
Howie began as a Cub Scout and crossed over to Troop 834 and has been active for all these years as scout. His Eagle scout project was to restore and repaint large and many sections of fencing at his church. Howie is a junior at Chartiers Valley High School.

Do a good turn daily and Support your community! These are 2 of the hallmarks of Scouting values instilled through Boy Scouting. As a good example of this it’s nice to see PJ and Dom showcase these traits as they took the lead at their school recently when the school had a 9/11 remembrance ceremony. The 2 scouts were asked to assist a local veteran in unfolding and raising the American Flag in front of the whole school.
Our hats off to PJ and Dom for a great job representing the true qualities scouting!
