Eagle Scout of the Year awarded to East Meadow’s Egan

Hempstead Town Councilman Gary Hudes honored “Eagle Scout of the Year” James Egan and his Troop 362 of East Meadow at the troop’s recent general meeting.

For Egan’s Eagle Scout project, he created a video called, “Going Green,” about enacting environmental initiatives in the household and the wilderness. His troop members assisted in the production of the video.

“I was delighted to share in the celebration of Jimmy Egan’s recognition as Nassau County’s ‘Eagle Scout of the Year’ as well as to commend Troop 362 for their assistance and support,” Hudes said. “Jimmy’s Eagle Scout project is a major step forward in creating a ‘Green’ world for all to live in and will benefit many for years to come.”

Assistant Scoutmaster Andy Bonomo said, “This was an important moment for Jimmy and the Troop and, as always, Councilman Hudes was very supportive and took time out of his schedule to offer his congratulations.”

“This is a remarkable endeavor for Jimmy that he, his family and his friends should be extremely proud of,” Hudes said.
