Two Scouts earn Eagle honors

The VFW Post 6319 of Greencastle, Pa., sponsored an Eagle Court of Honor for Robert G. Johnson and Michael D. Witmer on Oct. 26.

Johnson is the son of Robin and Greg Rock and Terry Johnson of Greencastle. He has been involved in Scouts for 11 years. Highlights of his Scouting include trips to Philmont, N.M., Great Britain and the Bahamas. He is a freshman at Penn State Mont Alto, majoring in forestry.

His Eagle Scout project consisted of replacing the roof on two sheds and two dugouts for the Greencastle Junior Baseball Association.

Witmer, 15, son of Doug and Mary Witmer of Greencastle, is a sophomore at Greencastle-Antrim High School. He took a trip to Abaco Island in the Bahamas this summer with Boy Scout Troop 99. For his Eagle project, he replaced the macadam walkway at Greencastle-Antrim Organized Youth Foundation Building - the old train station - on Jefferson Street in Greencastle.

Both Scouts are members of Boy Scout Troop 99 of the Mason-Dixon Council.

Johnson is an assistant Scoutmaster and merit badge counselor.

Witmer serves as senior patrol leader and has earned 25 merit badges to date, including his Ad Altare Dei Religious award.
