GRC senior Benjamin Lambert recently received his title as Eagle Scout following his project at Arlington Park. 

Lambert came upon the idea for his project “because it’s the neighborhood park where I’ve lived, and it was really in need of repair.” 

To help mend, he put added new borders and mulch around the park. 

In earning the highest rank of a Boy Scout, he has become a leader and role model for others. 

“Being an Eagle Scout to me,” Lambert says, “is a commitment to be able to learn and also to be able to lead and teach others.”

This kind of achievement is not a one-time thing; it has a lasting effect for years to come. 

Lambert talks about how the skills he has learned will benefit him later in life saying, “In the future, being an Eagle Scout has set me up to have good leadership skills, and also the skills I’ll need to listen to a leader and be willing to try new things.”
