In the 97-year history as a troop in Mansfield, Noah Griffin has become the 90th member of the troop to earn Eagle Scout which prior to 1956 was called Troop 1/Post 1 which received its charter in 1923.
Noah has proudly worn the Boy Scout uniform while traveling with Troop 17 during which they have visited 20% of the states in our country and traveled over 2,000 miles from Maine to Florida. As a member of the troop, Noah has over 100 nights of camping, completed over 150 miles of hiking, earned 56 Merit Badges and completed over a hundred hours of community service with the troop.
As a member of Troop 17 Noah has had the opportunity to meet and listen to our town veterans after marching in the Veterans Day and Memorial Day parades. He has honored our past veterans with the placement of flags at the Mansfield Springbrook Cemetery prior to every Memorial Day along with the members of Troop 17.
Noah’s Eagle Scout Service Project cleared the 1.2 miles of existing trails at the Taylor’s Hill Conservation Area in Mansfield and doubled the amount of hiking trails open to the public on the property by restoring an additional 1.2 miles of trails. The re-opening of a 1-mile long blue trail along the Rumford River on the property is now the longest trail in the Taylor’s Hill Conservation Area. Noah recruited and managed over 2 dozen volunteers working over 12 weekends to complete his Eagle Service Project. Noah and his team spent over 300-man hours working on the trails to complete his Eagle Project.
Noah’s Eagle Scout project benefited the Town of Mansfield and its residents. His leadership on this project has filled an even greater need for outdoor space within our community during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is fitting that Noah completed his last Eagle Scout requirement on the National Day of Giving as his time and energy over so many years in Boy Scouts has benefited our community.
We congratulate Noah on earning one of the most respected awards in our nation. His efforts to achieve the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America has been amazing.
