Bishop Byrne sophomore, Odeil Kimble (15), was recently awarded the Boy Scout rank of Eagle Scout, achieving a goal he has worked toward for 8 years, first as a Cub Scout and then as a Boy Scout in Troop 514. One requirement of this, the highest rank in Boy Scouts, is performing a service project to benefit his community. Odeil conducted a food and clothing drive to benefit the Seek the Path shelter for adults living in poverty, collecting more than 600 canned goods and hundreds of pounds of clothing and other items for shelter residents. These items were received with great appreciation by shelter staff when Odeil and fellow scouts delivered the donations that they had collected over the past several months.
