Sean started his Scouting career as a Tiger Cub in Holbrook, NY. When his family moved to Pennsylvania, he joined Pack 44 as a second year Webelo. He went on to earn the Arrow of Light, Cub Scouting’s highest award. Sean then crossed over to Troop 44, where he worked his way up the ranks of Scouting on his path to Eagle.

Sean has had many leadership positions in Troop 44. He has served as a Den Chief to Pack 44, Patrol Leader, Scribe, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Troop Guide.

On his path to Eagle, Sean has earned a total of 26 merit badges, including 12 badges required for the Eagle rank.

For his Eagle Scout project, Sean built a brick walkway from an existing brick Memorial Wall on St. Brigid’s grounds to the street in front of the church, and around to the church’s back door. Sean also built a planter box using landscape ties and planted it with shrubs, in order to screen the memorial area from the street. He also planted perennials in the nearby church grounds. Sean was responsible for planning his project, raising funds for it, and coordinating the workers who helped him complete his project, with a total of 292 man hours put into the project.
