Troop72
Mike Hurley
On September 28th, 2003 in a special ceremony at Abington Presbyterian Church, Michael Hurley of Scout Troop 72 was honored as an Eagle Scout.
Active in school, in his church, in his community and with high personal
goals, Michael has not slowed down for a minute since he joined the scouts
over 10 years ago. He has held many leadership positions in his Troop, such
as Senior Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, Junior Assistant Scoutmaster among
others. His adventures with the Troop have included the Kettle Cup Canoe
Race, many summer High Adventure trips - ie: to bike Cape Cod, backpack the
White Mountains, river raft at Ohiopyle , canoe the Allagash and more . Mike
was elected to Order of the Arrow by his peers in 2000.
Mike's Eagle Project consisted of obtaining materials, tools and labor to
make bluebird houses. The houses were presented to the Abington High School
biology department to be positioned around the area for monitoring and study
by future biology students with the intent of raising the local bluebird
population.
Mike's activities in school have included being a member of Student Council,
TADA, JV soccer, varsity lacrosse and positions as president and
vice-president of the Alternative Sports Club just as a sampling. And he has
an impressive list of community involvements, as well. A member of the
Roslyn Boys Club, he has participated in baseball and soccer there,
and has been
an assistant coach for the women's senior soccer team. He has also played
soccer for Hunter Soccer Club, worked for the KYW radio homework hotline and
has been a junior firefighter at McKinley Fire Co.
Mike is currently a freshman at East Stroudsburg University with an interest in becoming a Physical Education teacher.
