Dave Schneider: Troop 320's Newest Eagle

Dave Schneider is Troop 320's newest Eagle Scout. He passed his council board of review on December 29, 1998. Dave is 17 and is still active in the troop.

On April 15, 1993 Dave graduated from Cub Scouts and joined Troop 320. He earned the First Class rank in just over a year after joining Boy Scouts. Dave continued to advance in the scouting program until he earned the rank of Eagle Scout on December 29, 1998.

For his Eagle project Dave cleaned up a marsh grass area in Beatty Point Park in Greece, New York. This involved the clearing of trees and shrubs that had been growing in the marsh grass. Using the brush collected from the shrubs Dave, and other scouts helping on his Eagle project, built brush piles for the small mammals that lived in the area.

Dave has also earned many other awards within the troop. Some of these awards are Order of the Arrow (an honorary camping society), the 50 miler award, and the Historic Trails Award.

Dave plans to stay active within the troop for the duration of his time as a scout. After he graduates from high school, Dave plans to go on to college to earn a degree in Aeronautical / Aerospace engineering.
