Ocean City Elks honor two scouts during ceremony

(Aug. 18, 2016) Two scouts from Troop #225 were honored during their Eagle Scout Ceremony held at Ocean City Elks Lodge #2645 on July 31.
OC Elks Lodge sponsors Troop #225 and is very proud of this troop who has produced at least 30 Eagle Scouts to date.
Evan Haas built 13 wood duck boxes and installed them along the Pocomoke River in the State Park for his Eagle Scout Project. Each box was 3 feet long and 1 foot wide and mounted on an 8-foot post.  This was a winter project of three months and the boxes were placed in early spring.
For his Eagle Scout Project, Benjamin Jolley built 30 Smart Phone Microscopes and donated them to Berlin Intermediate School. This was a great gift to the school since there was not sufficient funds to purchase these items. It took Jolley about two weeks to build them.
Sen. James Mathias’ representative presented a proclamation to both Eagle Scouts signed by Sen. Mathias and President of the Senate, Mike Miller.
Haas and Jolley graduated from Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin in June. They will both be attending University of Maryland College Park in the fall.
