BP scout achieves Eagle rank
Boy Scout Troop 4 held an Eagle Court ceremony on Dec. 17 to recognize and honor Joshua Vitvitsky, son of Walt and Dolores Vitvitsky of Bethel Park.
Josh achieved the rank of Eagle, the highest rank of the Boy Scouts, by completing his Eagle Project, which benefited Christ United Methodist Church in Bethel Park. It consisted of cleaning up the area in the front of the church and laying 12 tons of landscape rock.
Josh received many letters of recognition and congratulation from national, state and local leaders and dignitaries. Gene Eckman of the Pittsburgh South Hills Elks Lodge 2213 presented the new Eagle Scout with two award certificates, one from the local Bethel Park Lodge 2213 and one from the Elks Grand Lodge, located in Chicago.
Other awards given by the Elks included a U.S.flag and a gold lapel pin signifying the 80-plus years of close relationship between the Elks and scouting.
