Eagle Brothers Honored

This was not the first time that Boy Scout Troop 260 has had several Eagle Scouts in the same family, but the Court of Honor on February 26 was the first time the brothers were awarded in the same ceremony. Michael Sattan and Stephen Sattan both received their coveted awards that evening, with a packed Fellowship Hall at Second Baptist to applaud. Following the Scouts’ impressive candle-lighting ceremony, all the Eagle Scouts present, young and old, lined up at the side of the audience, and Assistant Scoutmaster Art Sikes administered the Eagle Charge. Scoutmaster Mike Cremmins presented the awards, and special recognitions were given by State Representative Tami Zawistowski and First Selectmen Melissa Mack. Senior Patrol Leader Wyatt Cashman served as master of ceremonies.
