Sean Becker, a senior at Manchester Township High School, was honored at the January 19, 2022 Manchester Board of Education meeting for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. 

Becker, of Boy Scout Troop 441, said that his project involved replacing a handicapped ramp at the Old St. John’s Church Museum in Lakehurst and cleaning up the cemetery surrounding the church. He said that part of the reason he chose the museum is because his grandmother used to volunteer there. In addition to the work at the museum, Becker also helped organize a flag retirement ceremony in conjunction with the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new ramp. 

Superintendent David Trethaway congratulated Becker, remarking on the amount of work involved in planning and executing the project.”Building that ramp to be handicapped accessible and being able to satisfy those requirements is quite an accomplishment,” he said.
