Scouts finish projects to attain Eagle status
Three brothers will be honored for receiving the Eagle Scout Award at services at 2 p.m. Sunday at First Christian Church, 1207 Main St., Huntington Beach.
The three Kobel brothers — Cory, 17, Wes, 16, and Connor, 14 — are members of Troop 555, chartered by Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Huntington Beach.
About 4% of Boy Scouts attain the Eagle rank, Scoutmaster Greg Beard said.
Each candidate must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a community, church or synagogue-related project to earn his Eagle.
Cory chose to restore the control panel in the engine room of the Queen Mary, in Long Beach, to its original historic condition.
Wes built a trail at the Bolsa Chica Conservancy in Huntington Beach.
Connor also chose to build a trail, enabling visitors to better enjoy Overlook Drive Park in Huntington Beach.
