uring the 2021-22 year, Boy Scout Troop 267 recognized six Scouts who earned the rank of Eagle Scout - the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America. Eagle Scouts must serve their community, families, and troop; lead other Scouts; demonstrate and teach outdoor skills; and complete 21 merit badges. Over the past 50 years, more than 100 Scouts from Troop 267 have earned the Eagle rank. Jack Fields, 14, is the son of Chris and Emily Fields. He is a student at Hempfield High School. Jack began Scouting as a Cub Scout with Pack 125, which meets at Grace Baptist Church in Lancaster. After joining Troop 267, Jack held the leadership position of den chief. Den chiefs are selected by the Scoutmaster to help Cub Scout den leaders with Scout meetings and serve as role models for Cub Scouts. Jack’s fellow Scouts elected him to Order of the Arrow (OA), the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America. Jack was also part of the troop’s high adventure crew at Philmont Scout Reservation in 2021. For his Eagle Scout project, Jack restored and repainted 13 picnic tables in the Sam Stone Pavilion at the Columbia Fish and Game Association. Jack’s future plan is to study music or sound production.
Jackson Korba, 15, son of Zena Korba and Christopher Korba, is a sophomore at Hempfield High School. He began his Scouting career in first grade as a member of Cub Scout Pack 125. After crossing over to Troop 267, Jack held several leadership positions, including chaplain’s aide, patrol leader, and assistant senior patrol leader. Jack’s peers elected him to the OA, and Jack completed the BSA’s National Youth Leadership Training in 2020. Jack has attended the World Jamboree - a gathering of Scouts from around the world - at the Summit Bechtel Reservation in West Virginia and was part of the troop’s high adventure crew at Philmont Scout Reservation in 2021. For his Eagle Scout project, Jack constructed 13 bee boxes to house native bees at Kelly’s Run, part of the Lancaster Conservancy. In addition, an educational portion of the project will be available to the public. Jakob Kreibick, 16, is the son of Johanna and Edward Kreibick. He is an 11th-grade student at Hempfield High School. Jakob began Scouting as a Cub Scout with Pack 181, based at Ironville United Methodist Church. In Troop 267, Jakob planned, led, and evaluated patrol activities as a patrol leader. He also provided leadership while serving as troop historian. Jakob’s
Eagle Scout project involved planting approximately 200 trees at Murray Ridge Park as part of a Chesapeake watershed project. Jakob was also part of the troop’s high adventure crew at Philmont Scout Reservation. Patrick Kreibick, 16, is also the son Johanna and Edward Kreibick and is a junior at Hempfield High School. His early Scouting activities were as a Cub Scout in Pack 181. During his Boy Scout service, Patrick helped lead Troop 267 as quartermaster, making sure that the troop’s equipment was maintained and inventoried. Patrick also provided leadership as a den chief. Patrick’s Eagle Scout project involved making several repairs and painting an ocean-themed mural at Daniel’s Den Playground in Mountville. Patrick was also part of the troop’s high adventure crew at Philmont Scout Reservation in 2021. He intends to study computer science. Kenden Willis, 18, is the son of Tanya and Troy Willis. He is a senior at Willis Academy, a local homeschooling program. Kenden began Scouting with Pack 89 located in South Windsor, Conn. Upon moving to Lancaster, Kenden joined Troop 267 and served in multiple leadership positions, including den chief, troop guide, and assistant

When paleontologist Chris Haefner of West Hempfield found a fossil in a church yard in York, he suspected he had uncovered something special. “It was an unusual creature,” said Haefner, who eventually learned the fossil represented an animal previously unknown to mankind. “It was not just a new species. It was a new genus - a new family,” said Haefner. The creature is now officially called “Yorkicystis haefneri” after York, where it was found, and Haefner, who found it. Haefner will have an exhibit about the fossil and speak about his find at the Lancaster County Fossil and Mineral Club’s Christmas in July Extravaganza to be held at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, on Saturday, July 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A nominal fee will be charged to enter.
