Three scouts were honored at Thursday night’s Montgomery Town Board meeting.

Brandon O’Brien and Aaron Goldstein of the Maybrook Troop 236 Boy Scouts received certificates for obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. O’Brien was awarded the rank for his well-received Eagle Scout Service Project. He made significant contributions to the Maybrook Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2064. He added six flags to the VFW’s monument, one representing each branch of the U.S. military and one for prisoners of war and soldiers who were missing in action. He also painted the torpedo outside of the building as well as a box used for burning flags.

“An excellent project,” said Jim Barnett, Scoutmaster of the Maybrook Troop 236 Boy Scouts. “Really well done.”

On June 25, O’Brien will begin at the United States Naval Academy.

“It’s been a long time since anyone in Maybrook went to a military academy,” Barnett said. “This is something that we’re all very proud of.”

Goldstein earned the rank of Eagle Scout for painting the entire work area of the Maybrook Police Department as well as their bathrooms. Scoutmaster Barnett highlighted the importance of this project because the police department uses these facilities extensively.

“I know Chief Amthor was very happy with the job that he did as well as Sergeant Maresca…,” he said. “That was a wonderful project that enhanced our village too.”

Goldstein has a goal to attend the United States Military Academy. Barnett believes that he will accomplish this feat.

“I believe he will make it someday,” Barnett said. “And being an Eagle Scout certainly helps.”

Girl Scout Kelly O’Connor, of Walden, member of Troop 255, received the Citizen of the Month Award for creating a database of all veterans in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Montgomery. Her database includes names, dates of birth and death, branch of service, rank, war time served, honors and awards received as well as GPS coordinates. For creating the database, O’Connor received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a girl scout can earn.

“I really enjoyed doing this project because I got to learn about the history of the veterans in our community,” O’Connor said.
