Summer Hill Scout earns Eagle Award

Bryce Orloski, a member of Boy Scout Troop 651, received his Eagle Scout Award and Bronze Palm Award in a ceremony held recently at the troops' sponsoring institution St. Paul's U.C.C. Church, Summer Hill, Summit Station.

His Eagle project totaled approximately 67 hours and was completed at the Path of Life Trail in Deer Lake. It consisted of painting aluminum bench frames, replacing the boards on the frames with cedar wood and building a picnic table for the Trail.

Bryce was a member of Cub Scout Pack 651 where he earned the Arrow of Light Award and transferred to Troop 651 in March 2009. He held several leadership positions including quartermaster and historian. He was elected to the Order of the Arrow by his fellow scouts and completed his Ordeal weekend. He was the recipient of the Award of Merit from Hawk Mountain Council for utilizing the skills he learned through scouting to assist his father in receiving medical attention for a head injury after a fall from a steep slope.

Bryce is the son of Steve and Tammy Orloski, Bethlehem. He is a sophomore at Bethlehem Catholic HS.
