<div>The Surry County Board of Commissioners recognized the achievements of three Eagle Scouts during last Monday’s meeting.Included were Joseph Brevard and Ridge Reeves of Troop 556 and Kimber McMasters of Troop 561. Each scout was recognized by the board and given the opportunity to speak about their project.Brevard created a trail kiosk on the Sauratown Trail for his project that will be used to serve as a map and information center for visitors.“I had a lot of fun with this project, because I never heard of the Sauratown Trail before this,” he said. “But it is a hidden gem for me and a gem of the community.”Brevard said he hopes that through his project, he can raise awareness for the trail, which runs between Pilot Mountain State Park and Hanging Rock State Park.“I’m hoping that it’s going to bring a little more people into the Sauratown Trail so that they can enjoy the absolute wonder that is the North Carolina outdoors,” he said during his speech.Brevard thanked his family and all of his scoutmasters, ranging from the time he started the program as a Webelos to the time that he earned his Eagle Scout recognition.“All of them have been integral for me getting this Eagle Scout,” he said.For Reeves’ Eagle Scout Service Project, he decided to create a gaga ball pit for students at North Surry High School, which is where he attends high school.Reeves said gaga ball is a game common within scouting that is similar to dodgeball but is played in an octagon-shaped pit. Reeves was inspired to create a space where his peers can learn more about the game.“It’s pretty competitive,” he said. “I thought it’d be a good idea to bring it to my school to introduce the game to my fellow classmates and try to get people more involved in scouting, wanting to learn about the game and what it originated from,” he said during his speech.Reeves also thanked his family for their support.“I wouldn’t have got this Eagle without y’all,” he said.Kimber McMasters decided to help with renovations at an elementary school for her Eagle Scout Service Project by repairing the picnic tables at Shoals Elementary School. Kimber McMasters said she noticed several tables were either bowed or had planks and pieces of wood sticking up, so she decided to make the necessary repairs.“It was best that we fixed them up as quickly as we could so that they could go outside and enjoy their days before the summer,” she said.In addition to thanking her mother and father, Kimber McMasters gave special thanks to her brother, Colt McMasters, for his support.“He’s been such an amazing idol for me all throughout my childhood,” she said. “He’s definitely someone I look up to more than anyone in the whole world and he’s amazing, I could never thank him enough for everything he’s done for me.”</div>
