Orrin Byland Earns Eagle Scout

Submitted by Linda Chapman

Orrin is the son of Matthew and Jan Byland of Central and is a senior at Central Private School.  For his Eagle project, Orrin constructed a covered shelter at the edge of Central Private Upper Elementary School.  The trellised swing provides a shaded area for teachers to sit and supervise students while on the playground.   Besides earning all the required merit badges for the Eagle rank, Orrin has also served on staff at summer and winter camp at Camp Avondale, built mountain bike trails at Bridger-Teton with ArrowCorp5, and was a member of BSA Southern Regions Venturing Crew to the 2007 World Scout Jamboree in Chelmsford, England.  Orrin is a member of Troop 13 chartered by Blackwater United Methodist Church where his father serves as Scoutmaster.
