Jefferson Hills Teens Complete Projects to Earn Scouting’s Highest Honor This spring, two local scouts, Samantha Lantz and Sam Organist chose Borough projects to complete their requirements for Scouting’s highest honor, the Gold and Eagle Scout Award. Congratulations to Samantha for her Gold Award project, the wall and area around the Veterans Honor Roll at Floreffe Fire Hall. Samantha also collected clothes and basic household items for homeless veterans. She was recognized by the American Legion Auxiliary for her efforts. For his project, Sam chose the entrance to 885 Andrew Reilly Memorial Park. In addition to adding a beautiful new sign, Sam landscaped the area around the sign. Sam said that he chose the park for his Eagle Award because he lives nearby and “always had fun playing in the Park as a child.” Congratulations, Sam! Borough Honors its Fallen Heroes on Memorial Day We celebrated our fallen heroes on May 29 at services at the Honor Roll at Floreffe Volunteer Fire Company and Lobbs Cemetery.
