Eagle Scouts

Two Boy Scouts from Southbank were sworn in at a special Eagle Court of Honour at the United States Embassy on June 11.

Stefan Mitrasinovic and Patrick Neeb, of the Boy Scouts of America Troup 401, Mayflower District, are both in Grade 9 at Southbank Westminster. Like many Southbank students, Stefan and Patrick are achieving great things, within and beyond School. The Southbank principles of "international mindedness" and "action" are reflected in the Scouting movement and in these two students who have reached out to serve their communities in London.

To earn his Eagle rank, Stefan decided design and build recycling boxes for Southbank Hampstead. With the help from his fellow volunteer scouts and talented parents, the primary school hallways are now transformed, encouraging recycling from the young students. Patrick renovated the gardens at his church for his Eagle Scout project.

Southbank Hampstead Principal, Jane Treftz, commented: "The words of the Scoutmaster and other dignitaries who spoke at the ceremony indicate that with honours come responsibilities. The high standards required of boys seeking this award set Eagle Scouts apart from other Scouts and other students their age. All indications are that we can expect Eagle Scouts to become leaders in their communities in the future. Southbank is proud to have two Eagle Scouts in its community."
