About 30 people crowded the training room at the Boerne Police Department on a sunny Sunday afternoon late last month, all gathering to honor a young Boy Scout’s promotion to Eagle Scout status.
Mixed among the audience were clusters of Boy Scouts decked in the iconic brown sets adorned with badges of honor, officers dressed in blue, city officials and multiple generations of the honoree’s family. All were there to honor Kendall County resident and member of the Boy Scout Troop 18 Rylan Markwardt, who was honored with the title of Eagle Scout that day.
As his Eagle Scout project, Markwardt led the charge on completing an obstacle course on an open field at the back of the police station, which sits at 124 Old San Antonio Road. Partnering with local businesses and municipalities to get the job done, Markwardt brought the community together in his efforts.
