LITCHFIELD — Aidan Shannon of Litchfield, a member of Winthrop Troop 604, recently earned Scouting’s highest honor — the rank of Eagle Scout. The ceremony was held Aug. 22 at the Shannon home.
His project was building and installing six benches and helmet holders for the local recreation department. This greatly improved the enjoyment for those taking part in the baseball program. Aidan would like to become a game designer and someday start a family. His parents are Patrick and Antionette Shannon of Litchfield.
“Before he started his Eagle project, his troop in Litchfield disbanded,” said Scoutmaster Samantha Remington. “By the time he transfered to the Winthrop troop, he had less than two months to find a project and complete it; he never gave up. I was very proud of Aidan because he always finds a way to succeed. That will serve him well in life.”
He was one of five Eagle Scouts from Troop 604 to graduate from high school this year.
