Jimmy Egan Named Eagle Scout of the Year

East Meadow resident James “Jimmy” Egan was recently honored by Councilman Gary Hudes as the Eagle Scout of the Year at Troop 362 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 Jimmy in the production.

“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,’” said Councilman Hudes. “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.”

“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, “ Assistant Scoutmaster Andy Bonomo said.

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