Brewster Teen Named Eagle Scout

After spending hours building an information kiosk for Old Southeast Church Cemetery visitors, Brewster's Erik Kristopher Markerthas become an Eagle Scout, the highest possible rank for Boy Scouts.

According to an announcement on Patch by Sen. Greg Ball (R, C, I — Patterson), Markert is a member of Brewster's Troop 1 and worked alongside his fellow scouts, troop leaders and friends to construct the kiosk, which will offer useful information to visitors.

"Erik’s project is a wonderful addition to the Old Southeast Church Cemetery. The kiosk will provide visitors with information as they visit the historic site of the oldest marked grave in Putnam County, that of Abigail Moss Kent who died in 1751," Ball stated.
