Because of the work of a local Boy Scout turned Eagle Scout, along with several community partners, enrollment may be rivaling that of Boerne ISD in the coming years for schools of fish in Boerne Lake.
J. Barron Cohoon officially completed his Eagle Scout project last month where he, along with several of his fellow Troop 18 Scouts and Boerne Fire Department and parks and recreation department staff, sunk 25 artificial structures to the bottom of Boerne Lake in an effort to grow the fish population of the local hot spot.
An Eagle project is a final project for a Scout to demonstrate leadership in a way that benefits the community and is one of many requirements prior to promotion to the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America, something only a small percentage of Scouts accomplish.
