  LACEY – Nolan Downing of Boy Scout Troop 56 has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in the Boy Scouts of America.

  Downing earned the award through years of service, leadership and skill development, demonstrating the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

  For his Eagle Scout project, he improved the parents’ waiting area at Mill Pond School by building handcrafted benches to create a more welcoming space for families.

  The project reflects his commitment to service and contributes to a school that serves as a hub for the Lacey community.

  Downing will be honored at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony on November 1 at Forked River Presbyterian Church.
