Magnolia resident Sam Barnes was honored by Troop 80 for attaining Eagle Scout rank in a ceremony held June 4 at Magnolia United Church of Christ.
Lakeside School junior Barnes earned Eagle status by planning, organizing and facilitating a cleanup of the beach at Discovery Park on May 27, 2006, during an extreme low tide. Barnes was inspired by an article in The Seattle Times' Pacific Magazine depicting the negative impact of debris on marine and bird life.
In addition to maintaining an A average at Lakeside, Barnes lettered in three varsity sports: football, basketball and track. He is the 96th scout to earn Eagle status from Troop 80, which was founded in 1921.
