Aromas Scout Achieves Eagle Rank
Daniel Goodman, a member of Boy Scout Troop 504 in Aromas, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in January.
     The Eagle rank is the highest rank that can be achieved in the Boy Scouts. In order to be named an Eagle, a Scout must demonstrate leadership, community service and Scout spirit.
      For his Eagle community service project, Daniel built bookshelves for the library at Aromas Elementary School, a project that he achieved over four weekends with the help of other Scouts and friends.
      Daniel, 18, a 2006 graduate of Anzar High School, is now attending Cabrillo College in Aptos. He is the son of Laurie and Paul Goodman of Aromas.
