In March, Mayor Eric Holliday presented a proclamation to Patrick Dziegielewski of Boy Scout Troop 13, honoring the dedication and charitable efforts that led Dziegielewski to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
During the ceremony, Deputy Mayor Eugene Fuzy also extended appreciation to Troop 13 for their ongoing partnership with the township. Their commitment to service and community engagement continues to benefit residents and foster a spirit of civic responsibility, Fuzy said.
Dziegielewski’s Eagle scout project was a food donation blessing’s box in front of the Dorothea Dix Unitarian Universalist Church at 39 Park St. in Bordentown. Donations and nonperishible food items are welcome from the Bordentown community.
Bordentown High School staff, volunteers and his fellow scouts of Bordentown Troop 13 assisted in building and securing the structure.
Troop 13 was founded in 1921, 11 years after the start of scouting in the United States.
