What is rarer than an Eagle Scout? That is a question that Life Scout John Foong is answering as he works toward Scouting’s most challenging conservation award, named for William Hornaday – conversationalist and founder of the National Zoo.
Many fewer individuals have earned the Hornaday award than have completed the trail to Eagle. It requires not only a sense of environmental responsibility but lots of commitment and similar leadership skills required to complete an Eagle Scout service project.
Local television station, Channel 4 visited John and his team as they worked to clear our invasive plants at Fairfax County’s Frying Pan Park. Click the link below see their video.
