Prayer Garden Is Eagle Scout Project
CALLICOON CENTER--Construction of a prayer garden at the Horton Brook Free Methodist Church was a very special Eagle Scout project for 18-year-old Sullivan West graduate Erik Burton of Callicoon Center.
His decision to build a prayer garden was made because "I wanted there to be a peaceful place at the church for members to pray and have time to reflect on life, hardships, world cultures, etc, etc."
Dedication and presentation of the prayer garden took place Sunday June 27 with a special service conducted by Pastor Allen Wachter, board trustee Jimmy Cheek and Deacon of Joy Don Engle.
The Eagle Scout award is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America and Erik now joins the rank earned by more than 2 million young men.
Erik's award comes as a result of his meeting strict Boy Scout requirements including earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating scout spirit through the Boy Scout oath and law, service and leadership which includes an extensive service project that the Scout plans, organizes, leads and manages.
The new Callicoon Center Eagle Scout started his Boy Scout activities in first grade as a cub scout in Greenwich, Connecticut Troop 37 (Black Wolf District) and achieved his Order Of The Arrow award during Cub Scouts.
His entire scouting career has been in the Greenwich, Conn. Troop 37 and he recently was awarded his Eagle Scout award June 23 from Scout Master Bob Neilsen with Horton Brook Free Methodist Church Pastor Allen Wachter taking part in the ceremony.
The building of the prayer garden took 123 hours to complete with all materials being purchased at Agway.
Erik graduated this June from Sullivan West and achieved his advanced regents diploma while graduating as well as the History 11 best average. He was on the honor roll almost every listing and graduated cum laude. At Sullivan West Erik was a National Honor Society (NHS) member and played varsity basketball. One of his favorite out of school activities is bowling.
The son of Gregg and Lynn Burton, Erik will be majoring in communications this fall at SUNY Buffalo University.
His father and mother are both involved in this field and it is Erik's great interest and favorite hobby in which he noted "I make movies all the time."
