Court of Honor held for Troop 79 Eagle Scouts

By CATHERINE STROH

On Sunday, January 29 at noon, an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony was held for two Troop 79 Eagle Scouts, Kailyb Leitch and Noah Kapustic, both of Northampton.

The ceremony was held at St. John the Baptist Church, 3024 S. Ruch St., Whitehall (Stiles).

Kailyb Leitch, son of Ryan and Julie Leitch of Northampton, earned his Eagle Scout rank on August 18. Leitch’s

Eagle Scout project benefited the Queenship of Mary Church in Northampton. Leitch refurbished, refreshed and updated the train the church uses during their parish festival.

Noah Kapustic, son of Michael and Kimberly Kapustic of Northampton, earned his Eagle Scout on November 17.

Kapustic’s Eagle Scout project entailed updating and increasing the amount of shelving for the Whitehall Food Pantry, based out of St. John the Baptist Church in Stiles. Kapustic procured, painted and installed the shelving.

State Rep. Zach Mako attended the Court of Honor and issued House citations to both Scouts, congratulating them on their achievement.
