Troop 728 celebrates four fine young men who have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. We congratulate Kevin Russell, Paul O’Riordan Shimkin, Dylan Hardy and Arthur “Tripp” Ward, as well as their Parents, Leaders and fellow Scouts!
Troop 728 has TWO amazing Scoutmasters, one for our Boys’ Troop and one for our Girls’ Troop!
A lifelong Scouter, David Russell leads Troop 728-B. When he’s not planning scrambles and leading high adventure trips, David is a professional photographer. His son Kevin and daughter Carolyn are Scouts in the troop.
Jean Karlson, a long-time Troop 728 Leader, was instrumental in founding and now heads up Troop 728-G. Jean is a nurse and has two sons, Lars and Kevin, who both earned the rank of Eagle as Scouts in Troop 728.
