Troop honors one of its own

Redlands Daily Facts

Boy Scout Troop 423 of Redlands held an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony on Feb. 4 at Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Redlands.

The highest and most coveted award in scouting was presented to Spencer A. Saks, the son of Jeff and Cindy Saks and brother to Samantha Saks of Highland.

The ceremony was attended by more than 150 family members and friends.

Participating in the ceremony were 3rd District County Supervisor Neil Derry, Redlands City Mayor Pete Aguilar and Shane Price of the Redlands Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, all of which presented special letters of acknowledgment and congratulations to Spencer.

Spencer started scouting as a Tiger Cub in the 1st grade, continued through Cub Scouts where he earned the Arrow of Light and now the rank of Eagle in Boy Scouts.

Once Spencer advanced to Boy Scouts he volunteered his time as the Cub Scout Pack Den Chief.

Spencer achieved the rank of Eagle by conducting an Organ Donor Awareness Campaign.
