Brookhaven Councilwoman Bonner Honors New Eagle Scouts from Troop 1776 in Mt. Sinai
On July 27, Councilwoman Jane Bonner and Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio were guests at the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Boy Scouts Julian Gunnell, Alexander Polyansky and Lucas Skubliskas from Troop 1776 in Mount Sinai.
Julian’s Eagle project was to provide a bike rack for Heritage Park in Mount Sinai. He purchased the bike rack through his fundraising efforts and then led a group to install the bike rack at the park. Alexander’s Eagle Scout project was to build and paint 50 Bluebird houses for the DEC office in Ridge. These replaced older versions of the houses. This will help the DEC conserve the Bluebird, New York’s state bird. Lucas created medical information sheets. The sheets included information that would be important for first responders and hospitals to have if a person was incapacitated when an ambulance has been called. These sheets are being placed in Trinity Lutheran Church in Rocky Point and mailed out to all Mount Sinai residents in the annual fundraiser flyer sent by the Mount Sinai Fire Department. It will also be placed in other churches and the Rose Caracappa Center in Mount Sinai. Wooden holders were also created to hold the pamphlets that individuals can take and complete.
“I commend these fine young men for the work that they’ve done to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. Their leadership qualities, hard work and dedication to the community set a great example for their peers to follow,” said Councilwoman Bonner.
