Boy Scout Troop 671 of St. Hedwig’s Church in Los Alamitos is celebrating three of their young men at the Eagle Court of Honor.  Nicholas Camferdam of Seal Beach, Matthew Kriege of Los Alamitos and Edgar Jaramillo of Cypress have been together since Cub Scouts (Pack 620, St Hedwig Church).

Sun View Elementary School in Huntington Beach benefited from Jaramillo’s Eagle project where he rehabilitated the school’s vegetable garden for their Life Science classes.

Kriege’s project was to build an enclosure that beautified the area near the baseball field including constructing two block walls 6 foot tall by 6 foot long with swinging gates, extensive planting and transplanting of greenery.

St. Hedwig’s benefited from Camferdam’s’s project where he took on a series of landscaping and renovations involving the removal a tree, transplanting old plants and installing over 80 new plants. A new gate was also built to keep children and families off the street during after-school pickup.

The Boy Scout program worked well for these young men as they are all headed for college in the fall.

Camferdam is headed to Purdue University, Kriege is attending Azusa Pacific University and Jaramillo is in his second year at United World College.
