Four local Boy Scouts were recognized by the City Council for achieving their Eagle Scout awards. Mayor Pro Tem John Taylor bestowed certificates to Ian Whelan, Kevin Cotugno, Brendan Luke and Brandon Burger at the council’s meeting on Tuesday, August 7.
As part of the Eagle Scout process, the four boys each completed a required service project: Burger constructed two toy-storage bins for St. Edward’s Preschool and three soundproof boxes for the computer lab; Cotugno purchased and refurbished a 20-foot shipping container for Holy Trinity Catholic Church to use as a food distribution site; Luke built two wooden arches over angel statues in the children’s section of the old Mission cemetery; and Whelan built an acoustic guitar storage system for Santa Margarita Catholic High School’s music department.
