Bower earns Eagle award
Christopher S. Bower
Christopher S. Bower of Watsontown received his Eagle Scout rank on Jan. 27. Bower, a senior at Warrior Run High School, Turbotville, is the son of Tim and Dixie Bower. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout after completing 12 required and nine elective merit badges. Bower also held leadership positions in the troop and spent many hours doing community service. Bower’s service project to earn Eagle rank was the restoration of the Warrior Run High School soccer field bleachers and concession stand. Family, friends and fellow Scouts logged about 81 hours completing the project. Donations of materials were given by Lewisburg Builders Supply and Central Equipment Co. Outside of Scouting, Bower is a team captain of the high school boys’ soccer team, a member of the concert choir and the National Honor Society. Recently, he was named Watsontown Lions Club student of the month and the Milton Rotary Club student of the month.
