Derby's newest Eagle Scout ushered in by 'Old Timers'
FELICIA HUNTER, Correspondent
DERBY — The old helped usher in the new at an end-of-the-year gathering
that saw generations of Troop 3 Boy Scouts officially mark a current
member's passage to Eagle Scout rank.
Nicholas Frovarp's Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony last Wednesday
doubled as the troop's annual "Old Timer's Night," bringing dozens to
Second Congregational Church, the longtime venue for local Scout
meetings.
In addition to reuniting with alumni, Troop 3 affiliates used the
dual-purpose event to extend their congratulations, well-wishes and
plenty of advice to 17-year-old Frovarp.
"Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Don't be afraid to try new things and
fail," said Assistant Scoutmaster Mike Breault, commenting on parallels
between challenges Frovarp will face in life and the determination it
took to complete his Eagle Scout project.
