Oneonta’s Ryan Winchester Gains Eagle Rank In Milford BSA Troop

Ryan Winchester, Oneonta, who attends Milford Central School and is active in Troop 31 there, has just received the Boy Scouts of America’s highest rank, Eagle.
Ryan has been in scouting since becoming a Tiger in first grade; he is now in ninth.
His Eagle service project was renovating the pavilion at Milford’s Wilber Park, painting, installing new railings and fencing (protecting pavilion users from stray fly balls), and building a handicapped accessible ramp.
The project required 300 hours of work between March and November 2010, and $1,800 in supplies, purchased through donations and bottle drives.  His fellow scouts assisted him.
