MONROE, CT — Twin brothers Christopher and William Maslar, who traveled the scouting trail together since joining the Cub Scouts, celebrated earning their Eagle Scout rankings together at Webb Mountain Discovery Zone on June 2.
The Eagle is the highest ranking in scouting. Since its inception in 1911, only four percent of scouts earned the prestigious ranking.
Members of Scout Troop 203, friends and family attended the ceremony, along with First Selectman Terry Rooney, State Rep. Tony Scott, R-Monroe, and Connecticut Masonic Scouter Michael Abrahamson, who presented them with congratulatory letters.
The brothers also received letters of congratulations from Gov. Ned Lamont and U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy.
Christopher and William received their patches and pins from their Scoutmaster John Quinlavin. Then the scouts honored their parents, Danielle and Scott Maslar, with pins, and honored several individuals with mentor pins, including their brother Andrew, who is also an Eagle Scout.
Christopher Maslar’s Eagle Project was to landscape an area of St. Jude Church, which had been torn up by trucks and mowing equipment and suffered general erosion over the years.
He researched and installed erosion resistant grass, planted juniper and laid mulch to help keep the existing trees healthy.
William Maslar’s Eagle Project consisted of the restoration of a trail behind Masuk High School used by both students and members of the community. He installed trail markers and a small bridge, in addition to mulching areas of the trail and clearing out fallen trees.
Both Christopher and William were recognized as a credit to their community, troop and nation.
All respectful comments with the commenter’s first and last name are welcome.
Congratulations William & Christopher on joining your cousins as Eagle Scouts ! Job well done !
