For his Eagle project, Luca Urbanic chose to give back to a place close to his heart: West Chester Playschool, run by parents who roll up their sleeves and pitch in to help make the Playschool magic happen every day.

Luca, along with fellow scouts, transformed the school’s basement into a shelter-in-place area for the children. To make it safe and kid-friendly, the space was thoroughly cleaned and painted. Additionally, HVAC equipment was enclosed, and benches with built-in storage were installed.

Luca’s decision to undertake this project stemmed from his own positive experiences as a toddler attending the Playschool, making it a truly meaningful way for him to contribute to the community.

The United Methodist Church in West Chester was the setting for a memorable Eagle Scout Court of Honor, celebrating newly minted Eagle Scouts Luca Urbanic & Benjamin Pentz. After successfully completing their projects and boards of review, the two were joined by an assembly of family, friends, fellow scouts, and former troop members.

Congratulations Luca on becoming the 73rd Eagle Scout of Troop 14!

In July, 2024, Ben Pentz completed his Eagle Scout project at Paradise Valley Nature Area, in Downingtown, PA. Ben constructed and installed a visitor information kiosk at the Valley Creek Road parking area where many people come to fish Valley Creek all year round.

A unique component of Ben’s project is the custom addition of a free fly library (dubbed the “Flybrary”). The Flybrary is similar to the popular little free libraries that allow people to share and exchange free books, except in this case, the purpose is to allow people to share and exchange fishing flies and lures.

Ben’s project will not only promote the Township parks and events but will also foster goodwill amongst the fishing community and will bring exposure to the artful and enjoyable sport of fly fishing. The location holds a special, personal connection due to its proximity to Paradise Farm Camps, where he attended summer camp for the previous 10 years.

After successfully completing his project and board of review, Ben, along with freshly minted Eagle Scout Luca Urbanic, celebrated his Court of Honor at the United Methodist Church in West Chester, where they were joined by family, friends, fellow scouts and former troop members.

Congratulations Ben on becoming the 72nd Eagle Scout of Troop 14!

John Gregg recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in the Boy Scouts of America. To earn this prestigious rank, John completed an extensive service project – also known as an Eagle Project – building benches and creating a community garden at a local school.

Following the successful completion of his project and board of review, he had a Court of Honor at Camp Horseshoe with his mom & sister, fellow scouts & scout masters, as well as former troop members. John planted a tree in the Eagle Grove to commemorate this significant milestone.

Congratulations, John!
