This week at the Troop 631 Court of Honor, BFA Junior, Maxwell, received several notable awards. He was one of 85 scouts nationally to be awarded the William T. Hornaday Award patch for work in conservation in the field of invasive species. He also was awarded both the Dr. Bernard Harris bronze medal and the Thomas Alva Edison silver medal for his work in STEM by completing many tasks and programs in technology, math, agriculture, and engineering. Additionally, he administered STEM programs to Cub Scouts. These awards require work over many years to earn each one. He is the first Scout in his Troop to be presented with any of these, much less all three. In addition, he received the Paul Bunyan Woodsman for conservation, the 2nd Eagle Silver Palm for earning 30 additional merit badges, and the National Outdoor Award for Riding. We are so proud of Maxwell!
