eagle scoutWEST LAFAYETTE – John Bordenkircher, a Ridgewood High School sophomore, received the honor of Eagle Scout on Saturday, May 10.

After eight years in the program, he has completed 43 merit badges. His favorite badge is the aviation badge because a future goal of his is to become an aerospace engineer.

“Scouting has been a great foundation,” Bordenkircher said.

He plans to stay in the program and work toward becoming a Junior Scout Master and receiving palms. His Eagle Scout project involved building benches and spreading mulch for the West Lafayette First Baptist Church.

Bordenkircher received several certificates and the mayor of West Lafayette was present at the ceremony.
