Service to others is an important part of the Scout Oath: ” . . . to help other people at all times.” Each year tens of thousands of scouts strive to achieve the coveted Eagle Scout rank by applying character, citizenship, and scouting values in their daily lives. One of the rank requirements is to plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, school or community.
Dominic, along with his troop, family, friends provided an information booth with awareness, games and activities at the annual 2022 McLean Day event, for his Eagle Scout project. “This is the best way I can think to educate my family, friends and community about the devastation ticks can cause” Dominic said.

“As a pediatric physician and Governor of Virginia, I have become acutely aware of the danger posed by ticks and the diseases they can carry. Lyme disease has become the number one vector-borne disease in the United States, and it is essential to educate children and families on its prevention.
