In his acceptance, Garrett thanked several people including past Scout Leader Michael O’Donoghue and his mom Lisa. Under Michael’s watch as scout leader, Michael has watched seven of his former scouts receive the Eagle Scout honor and his mom has watched her second son get the Eagle Award.
Garrett is a “Doer”, has a sense of humor and made it fun for the scouts as a leader.
