Congratulations Ben Johnson!

Keizer Troop 121’s latest Eagle Scout celebration was held today for Ben Johnson. After an opening flag ceremony, former Committee Chair Jill Robles welcomed everyone. Brian Condello provided a warm invocation, which was followed by several fun remembrances of Ben’s years in the scouting program. Patrick Moore read just a few letters of congratulations including the Governor of Oregon. After the formal part of the ceremony, Ben gave a heart-felt speech of thanks and inspiration to the other scouts behind him to stay in scouts and “don’t quit”. Troop 121 would like to congratulate Ben for his great achievement and thank him for being a great role model for the younger scouts! (Please see some of the photos in our gallery window.)
