Kittan District is excited to welcome TWO new Eagle Scouts, both from Troop 1199 in Bettendorf, Iowa!
Carolyn's Project was to create a Living Rosary for St. Peter's Catholic Church in Quincy, IL, totaling 350 hours. Carolyn is a freshman in high school and a member of the track team. She is tackling challenging honors and AP courses in Biology, Human Geography, and US History with hopes of attending the University of Iowa after graduation to study physical therapy. Carolyn says, "These [Scouting] experiences showed me the true impact of leadership through service and strengthened my ability to guide others. I am confident that without these opportunities in Troop 1199, it would have taken me much longer to develop into the leader I am today."
Julia's Project was to create a Traveling Stations of the Cross set for St. John Vianney Church in Bettendorf and totaled 329 hours. As a freshman in high school, Julia enjoys participating in cross country and track, and hopes to join the student council. She hopes to attend college in Iowa – preferably UNI – and hopes to study engineering or architecture. Scouting has influenced these dreams in a number of ways for her, primarily through opportunities to take fun adventures and grow her love for the outdoors. Julia notes, "The thing that Scouting taught me that I am forever grateful for is to try new things."
