On February 28, Eagle Scout DJ Taylor of Troop 194 was honored by the administration and school site council at Liberty High School. Out of the approximately 2,400 students in the school, DJ was chosen for the

Liberty High School Site Council Award for Character, an award that recognizes students for their patriotism, perseverance, self- discipline, integrity, honesty, and dependability, to name a few.

 

“DJ was completely surprised by the honor”, said his mother Sheryl Taylor. “He thought that he was going to the meeting to talk about Boy Scouts, instead he was given a beautiful plaque and was recognized for being an Eagle Scout, being in AP classes, his extracurricular activities, but most of all, his character.”

 

DJ earned his Eagle Scout rank at the end of 2007. “DJ has really taken the values of Scouting to heart,” said Sr. District Director, Jeff George of the Southern Sierra Council. “It is great to see him be recognized for his Scouting achievements by a group outside of the Council.”

 

DJ is a member of the Boy Scouts through the Southern Sierra Council, BSA. For more information on Scouting in your area please call the Scout Office at 661-325-9036.
