Local Eric King Gets Eagle Scout Mayor Fil York presented Eric Preston King with his proclamation from the Town Of Liberty and told the council and audience how he obtained the rank of Eagle Scout. Showing support for Eric were his father Preston King and grandfather Oscar King. Eric Preston King of Liberty was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on Feb 13 at his Court Of Honor Ceremony held at First United Methodist Church in Liberty. Eric completed the requirements for the Eagle rank on Nov 11, 2015. To earn the rank of Eagle, a Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges and demonstrate leadership and community service by organizing and carrying out an Eagle project. Eric earned 35 merit badges and for his project he partnered with the 100 Man Project, a non-profit organization in Liberty, to replace or add visible reflective address house numbers signs in the area. As a second part of his project, he helped to raise awareness of the importance and need for clear visible address signs, to ensure the promptness of emergency vehicles. Story Continued Page 4
