CHENEY – Local Eagle Scouts were recognized during a ceremony Sunday, Aug. 7.

Peter Johnon, Luke Wilcox, Aiden Kennedy, Logan Morrison, Taylor Denton, Noah Hoppe and Logan Leuck received their Eagle Scout award from Troop No. 356, Tamie Johnson said.

“Many of these boys have been involved in Scouts since they were 6 years old,” she said. “Over the years, they have participated in many service projects in the community – collecting food for the Cheney Food Bank, planting trees in Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge and Cheney Clean Sweep to name a few.”

They are “prepared for life,” she said.
