Legis. Flotteron honors Eagle Scout with Troop 95

Legis. Steven J. Flotteron recently recognized Jake Slayback on achieving Eagle Scout with Troop 95 at his Eagle Court of Honor at the West Islip Fire Department. Jack’s Service Project, earning him Eagle Scout status, benefited Madeleine’s Playground at the West Islip beach and marina. This playground is deeply meaningful because it is part of the “Sandy Ground Project: Where Angels Play” and built in memory of Madeleine Shu, a victim of the Sandy Hook tragedy. For his project Jake planned, fundraised, and oversaw the building and installation of numerous wooden planter boxes and planter bench combos including plantings.
