On behalf of the Scouts, Leaders and the Committee of Troop 27, San Mateo, CA, Boy Scouts of America, it is our honor to announce that Christopher M. Gee has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, and will be recognized in an Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony on Saturday, August 21, 2010.
The rank of Eagle Scout is Scouting’s highest honor. To achieve this rank, Christopher earned 21 merit badges. In addition, he had to complete an Eagle project involving the planning, organization and execution of a community service project. Christopher’s Eagle project involved assembling “emergency” backpacks for each classroom at the new Redwood Shores Elementary School in Redwood Shores. Each backpack contained an emergency vest, band-aids, sanitizers, a flashlight with batteries, and other emergency supplies.
Supplies and materials were generously donated by Sequoia Hospital, South County Fire Station #12 (Belmont), and Swinerton Management & Consulting. Financial contributions were received from many friends and neighbors.
Christopher has been involved in Scouting since he was a Tiger Cub at Sandpiper. He is a long-time resident of Redwood Shores and was a member of the first full (K-5) graduating class at Sandpiper Elementary School. He graduated from Ralston Middle School, and recently graduated from Juniperra Serra High School in San Mateo. He will be attending California State University East Bay in the Fall, majoring in biology.
The Boy Scouts of Troop 27 will come by your houses on November 21st, 2009 to pick up canned/dry foods that will be donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. Last year with the support of Redwood Shores we doanted 1400 pounds, this year we hope to do better. Thanks for your support
