Help this Eagle fl y It sounds like Jake D’Eon of Saugus Boy Scout Troop 62 has a great public service project in pursuit of his Eagle Scout Badge — scouting’s highest honor. His project involves the construction of eight new picnic tables that are handicap accessible at Pinetops picnic area at Breakheart Reservation. “My project will improve access for people with disabilities to this area of Breakheart,” Jake wrote in a recent letter to selectmen, inviting them to attend a special fundraiser. Jake is also appealing to the public for a little help in getting the supplies he needs for his project: lumber, paint and other materials. If you want to help Jake out while also enjoying a night of a few good laughs, then check out the Pizza and Comedy Show in the Giggles Comedy Club set for Prince Pizzeria on March 9 at 6:30 p.m. There are basketball raffl es for adults. Tickets cost $35. All proceeds go to Jake’s picnic table project. Check it out! Jake, 16, has spent a decade in scouting, beginning with the local Cub Scout pack. Being an Eagle Scout myself (Troop 26 of Swansea, Mass., back in 1968), I love to shine a public spotlight on these outstanding young men who accomplish something achieved by about only six percent of the boys involved in scouting. I interviewed Jake about four years ago when he was a 12-year-old tenderfoot scout competing in a Pinewood Derby race. And I remember him expressing high aspirations to one day become an Eagle Scout. Well, this project should help put him in that elite category that will serve him well as he embarks on his college education and his chosen career. It was in scouting that I earned a journalism merit badge for articles I wrote about troop activities for local newspapers, and that planted the seeds for a 50-year career as a newspaperman. “Quite an impressive young man,” Selectmen Jeffrey Cicolini said at Tuesday night’s meeting. He hailed Jake’s Eagle Scout public service project — “a Herculean eff ort.” Food Pantry The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry is open today (Friday, Feb. 17) from 9:30-11 a.m. We have a winner!
